It’s so drastically devastating So much, that it’s so hard to tell Is it the power of Mother Nature? Or a dooms day gift from hell? When the seas and skies combine Their strengths in force with each Fueling themselves within themselves While broadening out their reach As like told in old childhood stories Of a one eyed monster from the sea That can sweep you up and eat you While there’s no where you can flee The high waves, as they rip inland Like the monster flicking its tongue So quick to extend and retract again As it’s taken its prey when it’s done While the gusting winds level structures Just like the monsters flinging arms It travels its path searching for us Through beaches, cities and farms There's no knight in shinning armor That will ride up on his horse And fight off this one eyed monster We’re just left to let it take its course There will be again as has been before Other monsters to come from the sea I only hope that we are better prepared To rescue the ones who are unable to flee |
