Unfortunate Souls

They're unexpected and comes as it please
leaving young or old crying at there knees
it wasn't caused it was no ones fault
opening and closing like a big iron bolt
it stalks out it victims then goes for the kill
opening and closing the uncontrollable seal
it takes its victim at any age
the young old or even middle stage
it seems so innocent but yet so violent
killing any innocent that it resents
mother nature so sweet but so mean
when people struggle to keep it clean
you wonder why this beast attacks 
to make it worse you fire back 
opening its mouth and piling rubbish in
no wonder it lives a life of sin
no point in retaliating we know who is going to win
we use the world as a great big bin
wave of anger crash ashore
leaving helpless people screaming please no more
it shakes the ground gently before moving into the kill
no one can stop not the government or even the old bill
it moves faster the lightening or light itself
an act so violent it could kill herself
so tremendous yet so fragile
can be so sweet and yet so vile
