The Evil Tornado

This poem was written on May 3, 2022, When I heard the alerts for the next few days. From 4-6 May 2022, 8-10 Tornadoes, Hit Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. There's the siren that sounds, That sends fear thru our veins and, Has us running to hide and cover. We watch the skies and listen to the TV, For these falling funnel clouds, That throw massive buildings and cars, Like they're tonka trucks and Lego's. They can level a town like Moore, Oklahoma. Once in 1999, Then again in 2013, Both F-5's , being the most violent. Yes Oklahoma is Tornado Alley, But it's no joke. We don't sit in our front yard, Waiting for tornadoes, If we did they would end of life. We protect life and limb because, These monsters are unpredictable and evil. The only thing you wanna do is, Run, cover and hide and pray, You make it thru the night.

It probably makes the spring a mixed bag.Your poem made the inevitability of your situation and the requisite fear that attends it palpable.Look forward to the time that the one who stilled the winds and waves on the sea of Galilee will say hush,and the storms that wreak such havoc will obey.Isaiah 54:14 no oppression or terror will come near you.
