Human Tornado
The storm doth rage, the winds are whipping
all in its path turn minds to gripping
tighter to the trees, the ground
what's solid, firm, what's till around
The funnel whirls, it spins, it roars
all in its grip arise and soar
the closer to its core you hold
your heart, your blood must ere grow cold
The tempest's might grows stronger then
to lash and tear, to rip and rend
you cannot fight, there's no resistance
your choices; flee or go the distance
This force of nature has no peer
it clasps with fury to one's own fears
to stay's a fate, a choice not taken
to flee, to live, one must awaken
