A Phenomenon
Lightning strikes, and thunder roars
As torrential rain pours and pours
Down constantly on window panes,
Flooding rivers and blocking drains.
Dark clouds are gathering in the sky.
As the flood water is getting high,
Causing debris and falling trees
To float down roads with speed and ease.
This storm looks like it is here to stay,
Its force has caused all trees to sway
Rivers swell, streams overflow
When this will stop, only nature can know.
Buildings and homes are sad and lost.
This horrendous storm has come at a cost.
All possessions and human life,
Are under pressure, filled with strife.
Why are we all so insistent?
Thinking the world can't turn without human existence.
We are the slaves of nature every day,
No matter how we think or what we say.
It's a no-contest situation.
Mathematics isn't optional in this equation.
