I always feared thunderstorms
Lightning has killed many trees I loved

I understand that lightning
is a necessity as it replenishes
the nitrogen in the soil

But it destroys to create life

Tonight the thunderstorms roll
The thunder remains high
just growling low
as the lightning skips from cloud
to cloud

Then all at once
a bolt hits close by
and the thunder
kabooms . . .
rattling windows
Making your heart
skip several beats

The wind picks up
the sirens go off
and you chek out the radar

You breathe a sigh of relief
as the approaching storm splits
and goes around you .

It rains hard . . .

Then it stops . . .
so has the wind

Aloft the clouds
are race horses
galloping away as fast as they can

They have business elsewhere

Now all is quiet
a feeling of relief
soaks in unlike
the water running
rushing down the sides of the street

An after the storm moment
of peace when the air feels as clean
as the thoughts you . . . you don't have
A moment tonight between rows of thunderstorms rolling through
Sashley Aug 2019
Zeus yawns x-citedly
Weather violently unleashes thunderously sour rain
Quickly proving outright nature masterful
Lingering kabooms jam ideal hallowed grounds
Flooded Earth!
Catastrophic blight abound
Treat my pen independent stuck to a paper sentence
Its like jail time written haters still hittin' and shittin'
mad cuz I'm strengthening curve the lengthening
To the heights of china great walls guns brawls
Equates to ya downfall standing tall no close calls?
Humpty Dumpty they tried to turn me into
But this shell hard to crack dipped in black skin
Sage to sin reliving my past with the kins spins
A jazz ragtime tunes i turn ****** tunes
Stay huntin like Daniel Boone wrapped Ina caccoon
Couldn't break the butterfly effect whos next?
We got checks to flex and pecs with bullets to inject
Though I may come off picky number one like Ricky
Bobby if ya not first ya last tryna miss the cask
Keep the Jason mask for the simple task
Eight heads in a dufflebags along with toetags
For emcees i had to bag dont mean to brag
From guns that don't jet lag still leaning on a stag
Hate **** maxed out Benz's to jags price rags
dont mean nothing well feelin' like sonnys cartel
Cuz my clan spark gats well make melons swell
Attitude rude like the Dutch in a kind mood
I'm in the groove water filling up empty cracks
From my flow penetrating mother nature's vessels


All known savage lavish havoc forcing gavage
Stomachs ya food for thought most love to be caught up
Under the worlds display i delay spray AKs
If you try to walk hard this way changing days
Mother nature has to obey what a creator says
Still sippin' tangeray blunt to my mouths singin' Olè
They don't want no doomsday either way
I'll still pave a way industry heirloom bloom
Gossipers into a room sudden Kabooms
Grenade rock smokin off the clocks of Glocks
It dont stop sick with our war paths no laughs
Cant dodge the draft invitation too deaths blood craft cremations
Ashes to dust put no trust let the oxygen rust
From the steels ya body feels keep a head shield
For fools aimmin' at my crown it goes down
Hallow point joints let the lyrics annoint
Could even make Tut jump out of the tombs
Timbaland boots matching the Lexus coupe
I'm from Texas where killaz stay forever reckless
30 inch plus necklaces from million dollar chexes
Roll me with the ravioli feelin' like Stoney
Jackson get mad bed action chicks in satisfaction
Lavish lifestyles i pile with much fatal attractions
Reminscing on our past living giving strengthen
From pass wicked living sins waging gauging
Look into the skies for a paging still grazing amazing
Black poetry chilling on the fifth demo legacy
Stars wise all eyes president Camio feel me flow
Like naughty did for the 9 Tre and the 9 four
All to the floor vibration rising galore pour
Out blessing no stressing nature still testing
Humanities capabilities no integrity in the city
Of the politics gritty tactics makes me react quit
Learned the skills of a wordsmith Shakespeare
To Nat Turner lesson became a learner
Still packing burners my mind wonders
More than Alice born into malice sip tea from the chalice
It's a mind ballad needs no valid reasons breathing
Gases Earth's perfume excuse the heirlooms blooms
Let's talk about the elephant in the rooms Kabooms
Still jamming to MF Doom wars only consume
Depression ate with mad aggression selections
Of everyday choices pictures of a Rolls Royces
Celebrities giving false imageries of reality fantasy
See why so many of em end up in Insanity
Prison mentality tryna escape the wicked necessity
Of the industry but ya know the oath chemistry
Do what thou wilt not even tears could stitch
The quilt of guilt ever since I was a baby I was built
For war warrior scars barbed wire stars hugging
Buggin the suns cuz of the placement
Sky high still gotta bless the Thai so universal fries
Human thought back Invoke a spiritual froth
Growth spurts see how it hurts rugged from the dirt
Souls reaching out they graves crave energy
Underground chemistry they place where we'll be
One day doin the same thang in the same gang
We just atoms living out the auroras *******
since I got cursed with Moses mud crud
I've destined for tigers blood
Sharpest stud
with stylish flavaz but a hard blazer
**** stacks picked off the left of the tracks
That the lox left yo i paint images like a chef
Cooked into ya mind on a flashlight parliament
English embezzlements return backs to kemet
Black nations rise above the accusation facin'
Lifetime sentence on these plantations stations
Changed cuz of my content too deeply hell sent
I lay gore that mirrors Leviticus trust
We lay more frizzles than a magic school bust
Fools tripped out like calculus plus
Once the heat i bust turns men back into fetus
Birthed in a whole new world I'm spinning at ya squirrels
Flying got em lying dying in there own frying
Burning ya ****** shield Gemini as Will
Picture this got ya going against ya self
Over false wealth ya steps off that's why ya fallin'
All that dust ya snortin' got ya curtain callin'
Punctured your fame as mean as a pitbull maulin'
Black Stalin leader of dark elite guns sweep
from the dust laying in the rooms sleepin tombs
Aint no healing wombs of dooms Kabooms
This aint a comic script ***** get ya dentured
Tooken Houston thugs aint never shooken
Or book in my cashing stay beyond clashing
A Hustler's theme frank lucas fiend American dream
could freeze hell over once I laser my beams
Steams over the critics serious as a joker
Boil careers til they soft *** okra playing poker
with real gangstas disguised as past
President mask never fold a task tilt the flask
Mission Halo see how they heads go glow
Like the sun sparkles its a casket miracle
Take a swing at the black moon we putting holes
in one.... yep
