The Deluge
THE DELUGE
Placid waters sans piquant ripples
Freaked out with furious,forceful jerks
Reeking of rare reckless rumbling rage
Bloated brook burst beyond banks, berserk
Downhill town duped ,drenched, drowned and devoured
by conniving crushing conqueror
Merciless river lost all morals
Swamping streets like a shameless sinner
Roared and rushed the ravaging runnel
Its long hideous hands hushed all lips
Millions of lives maimed marauded
Annihilate, said apocalypse.
