Crushing waves, torrential rain
cultivated storms, nothing contained
beaches eroded, debris scattered
forces of nature, lives shattered
homes without roofs trees have fallen
power lines down all normalcy stolen
displaced in shelters ill at ease
clinging to family trying to appease
curfews enforced, can’t go home
sans power for miles, looters roam
assistance at hand, much bureaucracy
to restart lives, outright hypocrisy
modern technology, predicts changes in weather
and outcomes as well, crucial it comes together
