Born Of Fire and Rain
He was reborn & rebuilt
brick by brick from
casted stones
meant to destroy
A heavenly construction approved
by the most high
employed angels from every
corner & angle
high to low
The convoy driven by unseen
forces came in droves
remorseless in their destruction
& unmoved by any attempt
to dismantle
No one holds a candle to his flame
for it burns like earth's core
& he's the apple
of its eye
He's a storm comprised of
winds & rains balanced by wins
and losses
mixed with love
& pain
The foundation was cemented
long before he came
& there were eyes
on the ground
He came in the form of grains
tilled beneath your feet
but is indwelled by
something beyond the
skies
Wise in his ways he grew to be
a builder & destroyer
of structures poorly laid
Towers fall around him like dominoes
in spades when he delivers
food for the soul
Their infrastructures are so wicked
& cold that many inside
no longer feel the warmth
of this abode
They eat fast but are slow to digest
his mission & can't stomach
the wisdom he vomits
The bad apples of this world
make the whole nauseous
but he & those that follow
are the remedy
His presence hits like a comet
shaking this world
& others in proximity
in a flash
Flash flooding minds in mass
he is a predicted natural disaster
elusive in nature
but chained to his
destined path
