Fury
A Poem About A Midnight Storm
Lightning scratches the sky
Ripping a luminescent wound
Through the inky velvet
Halo of midnight sky.
*****************************
The gods are angry.
These humans have forgotten their place.
Their servitude has gone.
Their idols are shiny toys and cold plastic.
******************************
A bang! An assault!
Thunder booms and echoes around the city.
It is felt in every home, apartment and building.
Wake up humans! Hear us roar!
*******************************
Bow down and repent.
Humble yourselves
And bring your offerings
Of worship and fear, not tokens and currency.
*******************************
Mother Earth stirs.
She hears the call of the gods. Their fury.
She releases her flood
Of tears and anger.
******************************
Stop, Earthlings, and see your pride,
Your greed and your want.
Stop, humans!
Your Mother weeps.
