Too Late

As the sky turns from blue to grayish black
Lightning and thunder begin to attack
The clouds send down a never ending rain
People begin to run, not looking back

But the ones that did became struck with fear
A cylindrical force spinning so near
Leaving a path of total destruction
And that is when everything became clear

It's the wrath of a massive tornado
So violent there is no where to go
Homes demolished in the blink of an eye
Their worst nightmare, an unbeatable foe

They had lost the chance to evacuate
Now all they could do was sit back and wait
And watch natures monster take everything 
Because the warning siren came too late!
