Raindrops fell like tears from my eyes
Beneath the shadow of a cloudy sky
Violent winds howl through endless streets
As the leaves pass swiftly beneath your feet
Although the trees swayed like they were on parade
Their limbs were frayed by fallen snow
The ground was so heavy beside the brook
And yet the town had such a tranquil look
Where the branches let out a silent frown
Where the leaves fall, on hollow ground
Beneath the sea of twinkling lights
That filled the heavens in the evening sky
Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
