Rain!
Precipitation!
Cleaning
the
Air!
Sprinkling
the
Flowers!
Dabbling
the
Ducks!
Life
giving!
Beautiful!
Fun!
I love
to hear
the singing
of the
rain
on
my
window
as I
curl up
under
warm
covers.
Rain
brings
life.
But
too
much
rain?
Bad news.
Ask
the
Mississippi
today.
Too
little
rain?
Bad.
Ask
Oklahoma
trapped
in the worst
drought
in
90 years.
Ask
Texas
burning
far and wide
with
wildfire.
And
tornados?
Terrible!
Weird
weather
everywhere.
Dare
I
say...
Climate
change?
Globally
heated air
sucks
water
from the
ground.
Packs
H2O
into
thick
clouds.
Super-
saturates
the
sky.
Drought....
And
deluge.
Too much.
Too quick.
Rip
the soil
off
of the land.
Pummel
the
earth.
Batter
the
trees.
Flow.
Overflow.
Flood.
Is this
the end
of
the world?
Can we
put back
all that
CO2
?
Apologize?
Can we put
that genie
back in
the
bottle?
Please?
Happy
Easter
