UNTIL THE RAIN CAME

... UNTIL THE RAIN CAME ...

We all live our lives thinking about our Tomorrow,

When we have not lived today that we Borrowed..

We think of what next that we want to really Do,

And do not notice that the sky is no longer Blue..

Everyday we think of the more certificate we want to Acquire,

So we fill all our thoughts and mind with these endless Desire..

We intend to climb the ladder to the next level or the upper Floor,

To move to a bigger space with mahogany made desk and Door..

We haven't completed a building, yet thinking of Another,

What we lose or those we hurt in the process, we don't Bother..

We seem to call it investment to gain more in the near Future,

But what we never realise or see is the looming dark Picture..

We marry the love of our life, but then we get too Comfortable,

To notice the spaces we've created for not been Available..

We leave them hanging when they seem to need us the Most,

All in the name of work and business deals, while they Roast..

Week in, week out, there's always an invitation on our Table,

To one party or the other and when we don't go, it makes us look Incapable..

We storm the place, with our matching outfits, to slay - looking Dope,

And it gives us the chance to mingle and widen our friendship Scope..

Nowadays even in small gatherings there's always  something Hot,

And when you don't take any drink, you seem the odd one of the Lot..

Alcoholic beverages has become a menace every where with its small Packages,

And for the younger generation, it has prompted them to become sheer Savages..

Another issue is the rate at which people fuel their Greed,

They've made betting or gambling become their undying Creed..

Nowadays you see responsible people line up the counter and Stores,

Waiting for the results of the day to compare their tickets with the final Scores..

The truth is, we all live in a time and age that is looming with Darkness,

A period of time where people pretend to be alive but are in sheer Sadness..

A time when we fight for nothing more than to be Successful,

But after all the achievement, we look back, empty and Remorseful..

We begin to ask ourselves: Why are the former days way more Better?

Believing when another gets there, they'll change the narrative or Letter..

Just like the time of old, people were eating, partying and Drinking,

Building houses, chasing luxury, buying more stuff, never Thinking..

They ignored the voice of warning, just as they do today, seem the signs is just a Game,

Until they were caught unaware and swept away when the endless heavy rain Came...

... Don't be caught unaware or sleeping chasing life's Frivolities, and get carried or swept away by the looming Realities ...
