The Sky is Crying!

The Sky is Crying!

A Poem by Michael Stevens
"

Big-a*s hurricane!

"
Verse:

 

I've heard it said, 'the sky is crying,' when it's raining.

so would it be, 'the sky is crying frozen tears,' when it's hailing,

or, 'the sky's taking a frozen dump,' when there's snow?

Or, 'I'm a lucky b*****d!' when there's a mighty blow?

 

Pre-Chorus:

  

So what would you say when there's a hurricane,

when the whole world's gone crazy insane?

 

Verse:

 

When outside becomes in, cause the wind's 150 miles per hour,

and you've sheltered, not in a real shelter, but in your shower.

Golf-ball sized hail's calling your name--knocking at your door,

Looks like a war zone, with blown-down trees and branches galore.

 

Repeat Pre-Chorus:

 

Chorus:

 

'The Sky is Screaming!' would be the perfect descriptive phrase,

when you expect flimsy plastic to do anything--when on the floor you lays,

cowering and praying that this blow won't be your last,

and that the rescuers looking through rubble don't find you bare-assed!

 

Verse:

 

You hear the 'take cover' sirens, and you think, 'no s**t!,

and this fricking shower stall ain't helping a bit!'

Then a 2x4 sails through the air, and pierces the stall,

and for you, 'new construction' means the end of it all!

 

Repeat Pre-Chorus:

 

Repeat Chorus:

 

End
