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.
