Rain

September rain falls on my house
Like a hail of bullets drowning the militia
I am not a little boy afraid of the dark
I am a cowardly soldier too scared to fight
Lightning might flash, and thunder might crack
But I see bombs destroying the rest
My house does not sway in the howling wind
My fortress is falling under fire
This is no storm, this is war
And I’m waiting for the end
