Material Rain
by Moshe Benarroch


It was raining and raining and raining and the
rain didn't stop, it rained
and rained, and the world
was wet, heavy and material
and I watched my line leading me
in this heavy rain
people were locked into themselves
as in our times
they possesed everything, but joy
they had all the matter in the world
but not love, they had
cars, machines, t.v.'s
computers, until they understood
they had nothing but
the knowledge of having nothing.
