The rain pours from the morbid sky,
Hitting the blood stained ground with a dull;
"splash!"
Raven black hair clings to snow white skin,
spattered with crimson.

The teardrops of lives lost stream around him,
Evading him.
Washing away the thick, red lifeblood,
That has been shamelessly spilt;
From innocent people.
Slated down in a moment of madness.

Thunder claps deafeningly overhead,
As the heavens roar their rage.
Lightening flashes, bright and wonderful,
Decorating the dark, swirling clouds.
Wind whips through the bending trees.
Sharp, strong, unrelenting.

The rain continues to lash down,
Washing the earth clean of the taint.
But still;
The blood remains on the monster,
The man with no humanity.
Mother Nature can cleanse the earth;
But not its people.
It's raining outside and that is what has given me the inspiration for this.

Please comment, I'd love to know what you think.

"Mother Nature can cleanse the earth--
But not its people."

This is my favorite part of this poem. Where as before it may have been a bit confusing, this line clears the whole poem up. Beautifully composed.
