wat do they say about the rain

Sweet as they say
the rain is a rebirth,
just as they would say it gives life to the earth and washes the streets...

So wat would they say as the desert lays bare.. Receptive and thirsty.. The desert once a forest of draped trees and lilly pads.. Made way for billy goats and calves..

So how sweet would u say, the rain is wasted in the city where tar won't absorb and beggars litter the streets on cardboards as toads would on the marsh... The litter u wave at from your static abode.. So why does it rain if not for the earth to cry
