Hurricane Matthew

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
