Out of the Sky

Shock and awe rain out of the sky

 -A perpetual juddering whirligig –

Sending even the strongest, shuddering,

Seeking shelter from the crippling storm.

 

The constantly pounding juggernaut

Creating bedlam and confusion til

Nowhere in this endless night is there

A place that’s safe from harm.

 

I pause and ponder what unforgivable

Evil deed I must have done to

Summon this Hell from the firmament

To overwhelm and paralyze.

 

Surely, there is justice somewhere,

Some great karma round the bend

With shielding power to sustain us

So we might survive.

 

This is madness,

Vile nightmare,

This undue cacophony

That seems incessant in its measure.

Must it be the end of me?
