My next set of alouettes:The rainmaker broughtNot rainfall,but drought,Yet enjoyed the peoples' trust,He brought not fortune,Just plain misfortune ,His predictions bags of dust.The rainmaker causedNot welfare,but loss,For many died believingIn baseless beliefs,That brought relief brief,Yet utterly deceiving.The rainmaker broughtNot rainfall, but drought,Yet we were clearly shown,Our foolishness broughtThe misery …
