Hurricane

Mother's coming, with the tears of angels and the waters of demons.
Mother's angry, best stay quiet, best run, best not take her attention.
Mother sees us.

Mother's coming, with death, and screams, and fear.
Mother's angry, can't leave now, wait it out.
Mother sees us cowering.

Mother's coming; she plans to stay for a while.
Mother's angry; she tears and howls, and destroys.
Mother sees us cry.

Mother's here.
Mother's angry.
Mother sees us and laughs.

Mother's tired.
Mother's leaving.
Mother sees us and doesn't care.

Mother's gone.
Father's coming.
Father can help.

Father's here.
Father's leaving.
Did Father help?

Mother's coming.
Father's coming.
Which one's worse?

I have been inspired by that... I never really cared about people and the weather but Hurricanes.... You have made me realized that is a horrible thing to think about ....
