Weather or Not
by Achoti Ty Battle
Earthquakes, volcanos, fires, floods and all these damn hurricanes
Event after event is happening and driving the whole world insane
The sun was out, now it’s not and where the hell is the moon
Are these natural or man-made things and the end is coming soon
The earth is spontaneously shifting and uncontrollably shaking
Crusted mantle is crumbling while violently vibrating and quaking
Hot lava filled tree stumps are fiercely spitting and churning
Treeless forests catch fire and are rapidly scorching and burning
Rain no days here, 5 days there is enough to confuse your brain
Sewers filled with murky waters that do not efficiently drain
Blue skies turn to white blankets of puffy and ominous clouds
Are these forces designed or signs to make us cry out loud
Cyclonic storms that form are steadily making their rain fall
While destroying buildings and sucking sand, the water and all
Weather or Not these are predictions and being forced to come true
These things are happening whether or not they directly affect you
Weather or Not
