Our Fragility

The blue sky clouded to a sea of popcorn.
Then it turned into a cyber grey and
Suddenly a new and different day was born.
The wind picked up and tossed the leaves,
That travelled around the corners,houses and eaves.
Like swarms of fish in the sea following a current.
The clouds turned dark and waves came down in a torrent.
People fled in anxious frenzied egress at the sudden change.
Minutes only had unfolded as the sky became so deranged.
Flashes lit the sky and thunder soon vibrated on the glass.
The streets stood empty now except for an occasional human mass,
Where people crouched and waited for the deluge to disappear.
Winds and waves blew loose objects thru the fearsome air.
The world is run by boardrooms,mortal people and money funds.
The generations come and go to produce garbage by the tons.
Then Mother Nature shows its powerfull wrath and tips its hand
Perhaps Humans will think clearly and finally Understand.
