NON-PAIN IN RAIN

No matter who lands?
Earths our same lands
Matter what worlds depend
On cost and prices
No matter whose blood we
Feed the same mouths.
Matter what love, for most are lost
With sad out comes.
No matter whose the mobs loses will find sobs.
New music seeds flowers
Oh but words needs the matter.
Land matter to every ones when done own it.
Heart pump the land where sky are in the bodies we carried.
Tears are reefs where the sea matter more,
Too feat waters we drink.
No matter who mad, the land will care to relieve a matter
