Dreary Progress
 

Dark clouds tremble,
Tender enough to burst,
To pour their great deluge,
On the withering concrete earth.

The 10-foot gate,
The tall tall towerblock,
Rose from the city,
A phoenix from the flames.

A giant among kings,
Nearby a choir sings,
A very dark contrast,
To its grey landscape.

A loud clash as thunder roars,
Heralding for rain to pour,
People walk along the path,
Soaking to the bone.

As we focus on the dampest,
She lets out a tired cry,
The rain then continues,
On its honest path.

Faster and Faster,
The rain falls down,
Landing on visitors,
A wet wet crown.

As the visitor trembles,
Isolation reins,
All down the streets,
And window panes.

On her own,
No help in the world,
Just waiting for her rest,
For her hair to unfurl.

But when the day is ended,
The salvo of work done,
Living to fight another day,
The downpour carries on.
