CHAOS AND CONFUSION
All around is chaos
Confusion
Devastation
Destruction
Whirling
Swirling
Like a tornado
Destroying everything in its path
Sheltering
Can be hard
Nowhere is safe and sound
Panic sets in
Pandemonium, I hear screaming
The screeching sounds of people
Running away from everywhere
The devastation is all around
Whipping up all in its path
Metal on metal
The oceans
Whipping up a torrent
Waves pounding the land as far as the eye can see
Thrashing rain
Flooding the land before me
Gushing like a broken dam
In towards the land
Destroying buildings in its path
Destroying lives that are strewn on the shore line
Is there nowhere safe?
On this Mother Earths land?
Is this her anger?
Her outrage
Our calling
Our wakeup call
I feel stranded
Isolated from her land of hopes and dreams
Marooned whilst this storm rages on
And on all around me
Here we both are soaking
Drenched
Cold and damp
Watching and waiting
For this raging storm
To abate
