Miracle In the Rain

A sonnet with a surprise ending for both brothers and those in the wrath of God to enjoy.

He is big, he is black, he is powerful as a bear

He is hungry for what we have and cannot get it

He has blades at the end of his arms and everywhere

It could help him stop and have peace but he won't let it

The cop has a gun and the store owner two

They feel safe for now and even laugh and joke

As he hears and nears not caring for them or you

As he takes cover in his coat and bears his soak

The rain is heavy like fog so they don't expect

A crowd that would be any trouble yet

But he looks furtively around in circumspect

Not realizing the cop's worst shot is the best bet

He sees the bear and he raises his gun on high

He shoots and the hungry will be fed by and by.
