Twisted Revenge

by HOLLY ARMER   Nov 10, 2005


Madness and despair
fall from such ancient eyes
Intensifying her temper
Compassion she furiously denies

Anger fuels her passionately
so many centuries of abuse
Seeking her revenge
but what method will she choose

Looking for release
of tension and constant strife
Not worried about consequences
or even the loss of life

I am her chosen one
delivering chaotic distress
Ordered to do her bidding
putting mankind to the test

With a brush of her hand
the rain comes to an end
In these calming moments
the real destruction shall begin

Created from above
by a twirling funnel cloud
I sound just like a freight train
only a thousand times more loud

With one deep breath
houses vanish instantly
Exhaling upon the empty lots
a lifetime of debris

Gaining momentum
I set out on my path
Creating devastation
an unbelievable aftermath

Terrorizing all
for many theres no escape
But as quickly as I started
I begin to lose my shape

Dispersing into oblivion
my thunderous voice now still
Until I'm summoned once again
to carry out Mother Nature's will

*I want to thank Satin for suggesting such an awesome title.

    Wow, i never thought of Mother Nature as being so angry. but then, we all have our days... I really like "just like a freight train/ but a thousand times more loud." i'm not even sure why that one line stuck out to me so much - maybe because the number 1000 is such a hyperbole. dark, but powerful
