The Rains Came

On dry ground came the rains; they roared Debris was pushed along ahead, the rolling water pushing all Earth is scoured in the way; the darkened tempest soared Raw power pushed right through the wall Clean men in suits were stuck in muck Their house slid down the hill in pieces moving on They sat in wonder waiting in their truck Still in unbelief, how could it all be gone? Without words, so shocked by all they saw Where would they go with a home no more? Their land was gone; the hill was raw Could they build again; now what’s in store? Nothing left but moving rocks and earth Nature pays no mind to man or what he’s built Storms will carry all away no matter what it’s worth With a mighty hand all’s leveled buried in the silt
