I see a clear picture of tall beautiful buildings with no sign of life in any of them. I see flooded roads probably caused by a heavy rain but there are no signs of destruction, the buildings are still intact. So where did the water come from ??, It must have come from a river pushed by a strong wave on to these streets.
I feel intrigued for what might have happened here, yet sympathetic for the habitants of these homes.
O Rain, O Rain,
With heavy droplets.....
pouring down from the sky,
taking the inhabitants of these
buildings unawares,
Flooding their streets,
creating panic from within,
Yet causing no damage at all,
O Rain, O Rain,
Be merciful to their souls
It is true that natural disasters do cause a lot of harm........
It feels to me the people living here are used to it. There are boats.
Worse is if rain, rivers flush away the unprepared.
