Life and Death

Morbid curiosity, Rubberneckers on the highway, Expectations of disaster, Agonizing cries of survivors. Lost at sea, Buried in water. No flowers to keep, Mourning cries of disaster. Hurricanes and tornadoes, Sweeping the land clear. Leaving behind sadness, death, And destruction for others to clean. Burning buildings all ablaze, The crackling of wood as it fades. While flames grow taller, Life appears to grow shorter. The sadness of loss, Pending tragedy. The recovery from sadness, Depends on our trust.
