There was a world that wanted to know more-
They wanted to know what this and that was,
and what it was for.
They’d search and search until an answer
they got-
Whether or not they liked it or not.
And if they didn’t have an answer they
did care for-
They’d add a bit to it, they’d stretch it
until it meant something more.
Until the answers that they got did not
make any sense-
But at least it kept everyone up in the
air with much suspense.
There was a world that wanted to know more-
They wanted to know what this and that was for,
and then they blew it out of proportion, and
added a bit more.

To feel sympathy, for those who endure-
The wrath, of Mother Nature.
.
For many times, we watch from afar-
The effects, of this unstoppable weather war.
.
To look into the faces, of those in despair-
To fee lthe hurt, to witness their personal nightmare.
.
We’re always glad that it wasn’t us, and it was them-
Not realizing, that we could be next, upon a whim.
.
On this subject, we have no control-
As the sad events continue to unfold.
.
To stop for a moment, in our busy life-
To hope for betterment, in the midst of strife.
.
To feel sympathy, for those who endure-
The wrath, of Mother Nature.

She ran through the yard, with a little dress on-
And, when I looked again, she was gone.
