Stormy weather by all indications was going

to be fiercely contested. Left to the vagaries

of weather uncertainties the force of strength

would clobber all in its path without exception

leaving wanton destruction in its wake

Uprooted trees laid haphazardly in drunken

stupor as a result of heavy lashings of high 

winds. Those remaining still standing were 

ostensibly standing tall refusing temptations 

of bribery of common cause but rather with 

sheer guts steadfast in their resolve

Those upholding justice were rather skeptical 

as would not buy into it and were less inclined 

to follow suit. It was left to the respective 

individuals to act according to their conscience

to the best of their ability given restrictive choices

Dancing to the rampaging strains of wild music

evil with a twisted smile feeling overly satisfied

seemed to have triumphed over the just and

gleefully smacking their lips with sheer ecstasy

They came with accompanying dark clouds

rain and lightning cracking the heavens above

such was the ferocity of a spurned lover
