View of a Coming Storm

I’m standing at the edge of a forest, Waiting for the storm to come in. Lightning flashes in the tempest, While thunder deafens the din. The winds spiral in tumultuous ways, Proving the power of its fury. A harbinger of the end of days, Where each city must be buried. Armageddon shall be orchestrated, As I pray for our destruction. The revolution will not be abated, Anarchy becomes a seduction. This coming storm will bring the fall, So give to Greed its pall.

wow, strong stuff in this modern sonnet, Danny. Gosh, I did not even know you were around any more until I saw your comment under one of my poet friend's poems. I rarely see poets from the new poems list. But it's good to know you are still here!
