Sandy

Warnings go out early but it’s already too late
Winds of tormented fury congregate
Much will be lost in this culmination
The perfect storm rushes in on a warpath
In this life-altering occasion
Churning tides. Burning inside.
Samhain approaching
As the moon goes wide, rises the tide
And the scope of this beast is upon us
It hits like something never thought possible
The unstoppable force of this storm now visible
Our predictions were not accurate
The power was unfathomable
The face of our existence
Bearing damage not repairable
It built up over an expanse
Not caused by a lone element
It hit with a severity now apparent
It consumed us all, broke down all walls
And totally washed away
All that was cherished before that fateful day
When the storm of a lifetime turned into
The most brutal storm we’ve ever seen
But only for now

Immersive turbulence
Traumatized somnambulance
Remaining nuisance
Boils seething intolerance
Antagonization stance
Entranced in repugnance
Perpetuating the ignorance
Fixation on your residence
Meditation on the happenstance
Welcoming bloodsoaked vengeance

Within this smoldering aftermath
Vengeance: my chosen solution
Forging a gorestrewn path
Gratification through retribution
No deviation from this course
A rush of pain fuels my stride
No rest. Not a hint of remorse
Every one of you will soon have died
Sanguine is the savagery
Tear you apart where you stand
Sacrilege to your sanctuary
Incinerate all your lands
Predictions: inaccurate
Your fortifications crumble fast
As I alone infiltrate
And make you part of my past

Directly In Its Path
17:08

We’re directly in its path
No matter where you go
You’ll be in its aftermath
We’ll all be incinerated in its wrath
In its trajectory we reside
Your feeble attempts to hide
Will be remembered by none
As we all shall burn alive
When these worlds collide
Earthmoving catastrophe
Decimating everything as far as all eyes can see
Rising infernos, lahars across eternity
I pray to false heavens, last minute investment in my salvation
Please let me vaporize instantly
Avoid a lifetime of wondering, why not me?

The storm of all times for which we were not prepared
Now in disrepair: our utopia
The damage unimaginable. The results incomprehensible
Dysmorphia for ones neighbors
Our utopia: strangled
A reality never envisioned
We no longer endure. Thrive nevermore
Breach the walls. Society falls
Resent growing stronger
Can stand you no longer
Never will you thrive again
Exsanguination of the utopians
