I have watch the clouds for hours now
As they race across the sky
In a screaming delirium
Churning whirling flying by
The air is tense and thick
Promising to break and tear
Upon itself and cleanse
The pain and sadness in the air
I feel a weight upon my chest
And wonder which caused which
Did the rain summon up my tears
Or did my sadness conjure this
I want to fly on with them
The clouds leaving this place
I feel that same whirling urge
That has caused their maddened pace
To get away from all that is
All the tumult of my mind
Escape from my life, escape from my worries
Leave the real world far behind
I want to lie in soft sweet meadows
And feel the sunshine kiss my skin
I want to feel the earth breath beneath me
And feel that world of peace again

(Before it is too late
And all that peace is gone
I feel it dying as I speak
It cries in anguish, can't last long
I feel it deep inside me
A withering, aching pain
There is an assault upon life itself
It hasn't much left to drain
And once it's gone, then we'll go too
Following into the abyss of night
Of darkness and nothingness
Because we've killed the good and light
I've fought it since my first breath
I've screamed I've kicked I've cried
And when it is all over
Who else will say they've tried?
Who else will say they cared enough
To stand by creation's side
As cancer ate away at her
Watching as she died
She needs us all now more then ever
We can find that needed cure
For if we care and are aware
Then we can help her to endure
And conquer that evil which consumes
Its mother from the inside outward
Stand together, strong, and proud
And our voices will be heard!)

Hmmm... something about having to stomach four more years of our witless, greedy President fairly conjured these words from my head. Sigh, God help us all.
