How And Why Poem by louis rams

It was mid afternoon and not a cloud in the sky
The wind started acting up
I couldn’t understand why.
Then the rain started coming down
Heavy as can be
But it was only raining upon me.

twenty feet all around, outside of that
Not a dropp to be found.
How is this possible?
Is it that I’m dreaming?
And in my dream, this is what I’m seeing?

I looked up and down the street
And the cars were all dry.
I looked up again and the sky was clear blue
I just stood there not knowing what to do.

I felt someone or some thing touch my shoulder
And I spun completely around
But there was no one to be found.

I looked around again and the rain
Was still coming down
Then I heard a voice, an unfamiliar sound.

I have heard you, when you was praying at night
That you asked to bless all children
When ever in sight.

The children are blessed every second
Of every day, but your prayers
Help them, as they go on their way.
So continue your prayers and
Get the message To all mankind:
They are killing the earth
And there’s no reason why.
