A Prayer

Standing in the deluge
Soaking up the rain
Rivulets from the cloud burst
Wash away my pain.

Screaming out my hurt
Lightning flashes near me
Oh the injustice
God of Thunder, hear me.

Please All Powerful One
Take me from this piteous life
Save me from the loathing
Amidst this artificial strife.

Whisk me away to tempestuous shores
Some locale where nature abounds
A place without this industrial stench
Societal chains, mechanical sounds.

Give me peace, please let me soar
Pleading for just one good day
God of Thunder
To Thee for this I pray.
