My Old Poems (2011)

Rain #5

I said what is there to gain 

As I walked out into the rain

My dreams all went down the drain

The only thing that keeps me sane is the rain

I met up with the gang

Then my cell phone rang

As I listened to what he said

It made me sincerely dread

I walked home in the rain 

Filled with sorrow and pain 

I realized that my son was dead

I grudgingly walked ahead

He was caught up in a drug deal

This I knew was for real

He took a bullet for his friend

Then his life came to an end

Now every day when I see the rain

All I feel is pain
