Cycle
My son, Jonathan Brooks wrote this poem. What do you guys think?
Whats a tear without emotion
A lifeless waterfall
Turning its back on the ocean
Or mother nature having a abortion
Her sun dies
And its cold and dark in the mourning
All the clouds become orphans
And they hold all their pain inside
Til God tells them to cry
And it rains 40 days and 40 nights
All the trees try to commit suicide
Til God makes them realize
They are the air for you and I
The soil is overwhelmed with pride
His jealousy-the reason our roots die
