Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Twice Forsaken

black clouds threaten in rumbling roars
and thunderous waves across the hills
life unrolls the worst it has to offer

and in our innocence we wonder
what has made the gods so angry
that our illusions so easily be crushed

dreams extinguished as castles crumble
grown men falling to their knees
cursing both sun and moon above

and again we ask what has made the gods so angry
