Storm

A storms coming, I can feel the tension in my throat. Hustling, bustling people, Scurrying all about. A storms coming, I can feel my lungs struggling for a breath. Kindness left one day, It was always supposed to stay. A storms coming, I can feel my heart racing. People taking, killing, very unforgiving. Searching for a way out. A storms coming, I can feel my stomach growl in anticipation. Those who can, Buy what they must! A storms coming, I can feel the trembling in my legs. The climate burns, broils, and roils, No water, no food, no shelter anywhere! A storms coming, I can feel my feet try to retreat. We have breached the gap, No more people will be coming back! A storm is coming, It's not going away. I feel the fear, Even before it gets here!

This one makes me think of the nature of people and their character. Also the storm can be so many things issues or dilemmas. Engaging.

Thank you for the comments, I spent a week in the mountains trying to avoid the hurricane and came home to a tropical storm. The poem is a composite of the many thoughts I have about what is happening in our country to day, so I appreciate your comments.
