Apocalypse

Apocalypse Pattering on roofs Like defiant horse hoofs The whirlwind; Deafening thunderclaps Dark night seared by The brightest of lightening Harbingers of the deluge The heavens opened Sheaths of rain, linking up with Other sheaths 'raining' from underneath Tarred streets turned to streams-- at the beginning--and gradually Dry land turned to rivers Bungalows submerged Tall trees and six storey buildings next in line. Oceans, seas and rivers Have merged, Plants and animals submerged Underneath the deluge, where I battle for breath, A waterproof Holy Book floats And my mind races back to: And God spake unto Noah... Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood
