A storm is brewing in the air A tempest on the horizon Misery is up on end Anchoring itself to fight Pins and needles In the eye of the storm Calm is all but fleeting Black skies ensue As fear climbs over barricades What to do? What to do? Preparations are useless Barreling through walls Ripping through the strongest will Reduced to children Clutching at the breast of mother earth Vying for position Afraid to give up the easy Is there one right path? There never is just one right answer Lightning strikes again and again Same place, same place Melted souls of hopeful doubt All or nothing Black or white Right or wrong If only life was like a sunny shore
