IT RAINS ON THE JUST AND THE UNJUST

The rain it fell on us today,

It falls on all in the same way,

A flower grows and reaches forth,

Giving perfume, color and worth,

So why do some say it today?

‘Let’s kill a Serb, it is the way!’

The rain it falls on us right here,

If falls on all we hold so dear,

The food is sown and grows so big,

Gives fruit and meat to fill our need,

So why do some say it today?

‘Let’s kill a Jew, it is the way!’

The rain, so fresh, and it brings life,

It falls all over, peace and strife,

Water blesses, sustains this world,

Life it so helps – thriving – unfurled,

So why do some say it today?

‘Let’s kill Yankees, it is the way!’

Perhaps the rain it fell too hard,

And hurt the head of those who guard,

Rotten blossoms of filth and hate,

Flower stilted – so nauseates!

So this is why some say today,

‘Let’s kill someone, it is the way!’
