Swirling clouds of wrath blackening the sky
Waves toss rowboats onto the deck of yachts
Mobile homes hurled onto mansion's landscaped lots
Fords and Chevys washed down rivers with Mercedes
Seaweed & shellfish stain the gowns of ladies
Chairs & thrones float down the street
Chandeliers lodged in fields of wheat
Beggars & oil barons cower under tables
Reciting prayers & childhood fables
prairie is a parking lot for scattered debris
Winds die down slowly, sharks return to sea
Cowboys remount horses, farmers till the soil
Winos back in gutters, tycoons drill for oil
The alarm is over, sun returns again
Twas just a sudden breeze in the history of men.
