Overwhelmed

Needy waves overwhelm Battering, smashing Soft flesh quivering Splintering, raging, angry Screeching , fists clenched. I need more then I have! To quench the fire, A hunger, burning desire As oxen grind grain Doomed to everlasting circle Consumed by a need Spontaneous combustion, eruption Do what I must Abilities of others, To comprehend, to know What I wish I can't do The arrow pierces deep And the final words Are of no help Doesn’t the sun follow rain? Releasing the parched earth Who has my tomarrow? Searching stacks of stuff Cheating Chinese workers Can’t get to heaven today Enough of anything Weather turns cold Fields brown, sun is gone Special celestial light Summer stolen while I napped Can’t get to heaven today.
