It Just Rains Down

Shit rains down
On all of us

Not because of our choices

Not because of God’s discipline
Not to build character
Not for a greater good
Not to fulfill God’s plan

It just

Rains
Down

And stays as long as it wants

And damages whatever it can
And changes everything we know

Welcome to life

Funny

I can kind of get used to
The shit part

But I refuse to

Get used to
The shallow reasons part

Sure the rains

Can be made worse by choices
End up building character
End up helping many
Sure all those things

But that doesn’t

Change the reality
That many times
It just
Rains
Down

Yet still some say

It’s not really raining
But it is

And still others say
It’s raining flowers
But it’s not

It’s raining hard and

It’s raining shit

And I am

Helped most
By those who
Simply acknowledge
That it’s raining

And least

By those
Who make up reasons
For the rain
