Dorian

Hurricane candlelight
Dimly coats my apartment walls
with soft reflections
The wind howls
And the rain pounds

I find myself deep in introspection

My favourite tree fell to its death

Down she came like a hammer on a nail

Crushing the fence lining the playground
I could hear birds in the centres eye
Cry

Perhaps for their lost home
I imagine the shoreline is rough
Surges, 10 foot waves
Crashing rocks and boardwalks

Dorian's forces
Felt halfway across the world
Devestation felt near and far
Mother nature shows no mercy today
And I can't blame her... 
Climate change deniers
Should feel her wrath
But their excuses are great and immense
While the poor have to pick up the pieces
Until water fills our streets
And it's too hot to breath
Storms angrier and more frequent

Deny all you want 

It won't change the inevitable

You can't eat money

And you can't drink oil

The earth will have the last laugh

As she spits on your grave
