Rain

I pelt down at many,
Making them drenched and cold.
I watch people struggle,
when I take over their home or belongings. 
I sometimes come down for a good reason,
I revive the drought-affected Earth,
I only do that to see a smile on their face.
I sometimes become really angry and start killing people,
Some people really hate me but some love me.
No matter what, I’ll keep coming down at you.
I can destroy the world, 
But I wouldn’t because I care for you,
I get converted into into drinkable water,
So shouldn’t I get some credit that I am the reason you’re alive?
I can even defeat one of the greatest warriors by a single lightning strike,
But I wouldn't.
