Hurricane Matthew Mother Nature's devastation, you leave behind with your rage Why do you leave so many homeless with your behavior? What had we all done to wake your havoc? The floodgates in the sky have opened. Like a thief you break-in violating homes, taking evening the leftovers The streets have turned to rivers, in rage caring everything in its path to their death Trees brought down like twigs as your breath leaps to speeds We whisper a silent prayer, "Still your heart" ~ unrestrained weather extensive devastation brings humanity 10/9/2016
