Four Winds

Minister:

I watched the wind bend trees
and break their stateliness and pride.
With force that only God creates,
Wind pushes man aside.
I ought to know by now that wind,
invisible to me.
Can, with it’s first small breath begin
a full catastrophe.

Lawyer:

Allegedly, I may have seen
some trees collapse and fall.
I’m not prepared to say, it seems,
a wind has caused it all.
I ought to know by now that wind,
(hereafter exhibit A),
is often accused of many sins.
It’s M.O. looks this way.

Doctor:

I diagnosed the falling trees,
observing in the main.
A wind, or in this case a breeze,
just may have caused this pain.
Aorta know by now that wind,
having consulted many minds,
is only the first symptom of,
tree failure of this kind.
