Defenseless

That day the skies were heavy
All the grimm clouds caved in
The man shut his windows
As the laden waters poured in

The heavens cried heavily
Loads of tears fell from up high
He wrapped himself in prayer
Clutching his fears inside

A twister was now in his path
Rough winds shoved all in sight
He was blown away instantly
Not even a chance to fight

As the massive twister moved away
He picked up himself in disbelief
And when he looked around him
The backwash filled him with grief

What did I do to deserve this?
Looking above, the man asked
All was taken away so hastily
His own life, his reality unmasked.
