The Monster Is Real

Out of the west the wind blew strong It blew more hard as the day went on Early evening light turn midnight black Then an eerie calm as the wind went slack Run run run Run for the shelter child The monster is real alive and wild The wind exploded with a mighty roar Swirling the glass and dust from the floor Around went the board and brick support Then off went the roof with a loud report Run run run Run for the shelter child The monster is real alive and wild Nothing spared it made it's way east Light rain fell the twisting wind cease I stood in place a statue of fear The cool rain awaken how death so near
