Tornado Rips Again.

My heart bleeds

For the horrible rip off
Caused by the massive twister  in Oklahoma.
But tears fail to comprehend the gravity of the situation.

Imagine stepping out of the house,

On a supposed normal day
Parents , children and others
about their daily routine, they went
Without any clue about the day’s secret.

Then, in the middle of the day,

Struck the tragedy

About   sixteen  to forty minutes  after the storm watch alert

Which was barely enough  to stay clear of the storm’s pathway.

It was the worst tornado ever.

Very furious and determined
to demolish obstructing buildings on its way.

 
Shredded homes, all over the area

And  the floor, decorated with rubbles

Like it is in a junk yard.
A whole neighborhood  wiped out of sight
With no clear home identification.
Cars swept off their feet
And blown away
At least about twenty four adult and nine kids
Said their final prayers
On that unfortunate day.
May their souls rest in peace.

 
This story however,  is incomplete

Without singing the praise

Of the ER doctor who saw to the safety of the affected hospital’s patients

Shielding their heads with mattresses.
The hospital which could combine such a ghastly incident
With the thought of a woman walking into labor at the same time.
Heroic teachers, who practically shielded kids
With their bodies
Putting their own lives on the line.
Their  act of heroism will never be forgotten.

Many hearts and properties

Have been ripped off

By this cunning and fierce tornado
That failed to prepare the hearts of men
About its intension to graze the land of Oklahoma.
Now, many people/families
Would have to pick up their pieces
And start all over again.
