Burning Rain

Rain

Acid rain

Pours down on me

Burning me

I scream

But my screams are lost

Amidst a million others

Fire on sensitive skin

I can feel my flesh burn

Flames erupting

On my arms and face

I can smell the fire

Emanating from me

My crime?

I lived

In a land of eternal misery,

Never-ending greed,

Ever-lasting lies

I lived

When a time

Of honest living

Was not possible

I lived

And the rain

Burned me

As punishment

For my virtues.
