The dam has sprung a leak, That will widen in time. Expect a calamity as it bursts, And floods all below. Too late, if you are ill perpared. As you will be swept away. No one will shed a tear. No one will be left to cry. Just an empty basin- Once a town filled with life. All will be lost by its power. Nary a soul will be found.

Sounds like some Midwestern towns this week. A warning not to build on a creek bed. Some day it may become a raging torrent.Then again, there are many dams out there in need of repair. A metaphor for our time.

Is this a prophesy, a metaphor, or are you just spinning the wheel and something funny jumped up? Inquiring minds want to know...
