Another stormy night started with a series of false fires
in the sky, followed by false fire alarms,
then heavy rain came to hopeless rescue.
Lightning pierced the sky's face, dark and tense.
Thunders roared in sheer nonsense.
Between two lightnings was a blind harm.
Between two thunders was a deafening calm.
Where did this optical rage and this acoustical anger come from,
for whatever no reason? Trees tossed and rolled in disbelief.
Houses shook like Noah's Ark, pounded by the water of the Flood.
Can I still salvage life's precious belongings,
most importantly, my cellphone?
Will nightingales be able to get through this hostile night?
Will morning doves again see their signature morning?
Will there be jaywalks without blue jays?
I pray that this terrible ordeal comes to a civil halt.
Silence, storm! Trouble us not!
But he who created this horror and this mess,
like an unpaid hooker, doesn't give a phuck.
Come hell or high water, I have no luck.
His mania is escalating like a flood.
My anxiety is growing like a plague of locusts.
The force of destruction cannot be tamed.
What mercy can comfort a cry within?
How about I tell you my sin?
Nobody listening, nobody answering.
Havoc imminent, situation dire. From afar,
the downpour continues to sharpen churches' spires.
