Tempest
The Black Knight
The rain keeps pouring down
As the thunder rattles through the ground
The clouds flash and crash together
As the earth surrenders to the weather
Water rushes through the gully
Washing what the dirt had sullied
Breaking against the tallest trees
Pounding like the angry sea
White caps form and breach
An angry, desperate speech
Crying out against the norm
Against the thoughtless sinful form
That we’ve accepted and embraced
Idling despite its quickened pace
As it laid a stronghold deep
Marring my thoughts and sleep
And now this tempest swirls
A barrage against the cruel world
Blithe in my passivity
A poison slowly, surely killing me
A figure solitary before the wave
A heart open, lying in its grave
So the choice to make is mine
As the world ends my time
Do I stand before the flow?
Or to Hades with my soul?
As the thunder rattles through the ground

An angry, desperate speech
Crying out against the norm
