A black cloud pregnant,
With rain, drifting o'r the land,
Brings joy once again.

With chains and padlocks made of steel.

Once in the desert down below.

A badge pinned to his shirt.

That steals a loaf of bread.
To have a bite to eat.
I am nobody.

And still she cries,
dry tears.
no longer moist
and salty.
