Drip, drip, drip,
A storm is coming,
However, this is no ordinary storm.
Plop, plop, plop,
As shallow puddles form
More run for cover.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Three bolts strike,
Leaving little tunnels in their path.
Three bolts for one, the figure,
Now lifeless, falls to the ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Another devastating blast
As someone else is hurt,
Their cries no longer sounding.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
This sound from outside,
And suddenly silence…
Plop, plop,
Only two sounds this time,
The tirade has ended,
Through the past few hours
Only time has saved those remaining
Drip, drip, drip,
The storm is over,
Yet nothing is the same,
Those who have been affected
Are immune to the sound,
And effects of these horrid experiences,
It was just another storm…
Dedicated to those lost to violence, especially those in Littleton Colorado, and Jonesboro Arkansas.
