A Winter Storm
This winter storm comes
Without emotion, intellect, or care
Blowing its dry freezing air
Puffs up fallen leaves
Floats them up into the gray sky
Will it leave death in its turbulence
Trees uprooted?
Animals' den not warm enough?
Homeless humans without shelter frozen?
Are we above this emotionless storm?
What are our values?
Do we have the right to judge?
What storm will it take to awake us?
The one with snow up to the rooftop
Or maybe water so deep we can't float
Maybe electrical constant flashings
Or maybe a storm in a desert
More intelligent than the storm
Mankind has figured them out
Why can't we figure out humans
Get our mortals back on track
