Ruinous
Charred bodies lie in the minefields of their ruinous exit.
We are nested in this web of flaming fire.
These deaths echo abomination and
sacrilege.
Charred bodies are immersed in convoluted oil
of corruption.
Label these tombstones ‘greed’
and ‘sleaze.’
Charred bodies are bunkering oil truncated
by untimely death.
This fury of hell on earth is a disaster plane
that spreads a flood of sorrow.
Venom
Evil winds sail and fail
As treacherous fury buries
our young.
We have become captives in our land,
And a malicious reign rains sheer terror.
Steer clear of these rampaging floods
whose vengeance crushes more than a venomous
sting.
