Brilliant flashes of lightning
Illuminating the sky
To the ev'ryone, it's frightening
We all cower back, terrified.
...
Thunder rumbles from the dark clouds
Pouring out thick, heavy rain
Making booming, pelting sounds
No one can speak, storm against.
...
Its arguments are great and loud
It doesn't give room to speak
"Don't say a word, you're not allowed!!"
As it claims, outlook is bleak.
...
The storm will ravage all we've built
What we fought, died for to save
It will, without a pang of guilt
And make us all its chrush'd slaves.
...

Cezanne, this was such a breath taking and powerful piece. I love the imagery and the metaphor the storm posed in poem! Beautifully done!
Wonderful and powerful poem, Cezanne! I really love the symbolism of the thunderstorm and arguments -- very beautifully penned and super compelling 🥹❤️
This felt very liberating! Like a much needed cleanse. Loved your poem!
I loved this, Cezanne, especially the imagery of the raw power of the storm and the fear towards it.
Another great poem! As we proceed towards the last stanzas, I feel more and more that perhaps this storm is metaphorical...?
Hi Cezanne. I stand in awe of lightning. It is the wrath of God manifesting in fire. It is scary. Love your poem. Hope you are well.
