TWISTER'S MOTHER

Warm and cold air collide out on the Oklahoma plains

Stirring up the atmosphere and bringing down the rains

Thunder and lightning then ensues adding to the mix

Mother Nature is wide awake and up to her old tricks

 

The winds begins to blow and shear as the air tumbles round

The red dust is all astir as it’s blown about the ground

At first it’s just a tiny thing, just a dust devil dancing there

But soon it grows in leaps and bounds; spinning, twisting air

 

Across the open prairie it moves kicking up debris and such

Ripping and tearing, destroying all things that it will touch

Twisting along a jagged path across planted fields and farm

Bringing forth its mighty strength and dealing out its harm

 

Dark clouds roll and boil as the twister plots its sinister path

Rain drenches and drowns as the storm releases its wrath

A twister comes out nowhere and swoops down upon the land

Tearing the world asunder; letting horror in the heart of man

 

Trees explode in splinters and cover the world in toothpicks

Buildings collapse with force turning to rubble and sticks

Death rides upon the winds and its grisly scythe is wield

To take the souls of those whose lives we cannot shield

 

Blow; blow you evil wind on a twister’s wicked, ugly path

Blow until you breathed the last exhausting all your wrath

Remind us of Mother Nature’s force; her unforgiving way

Leave your mark and depart our world; leave us all to pray

 

The twister heads off to the east, destruction in its wake

It’s come once more to destroy and take all it can take

We watch it go on its way so glad that we did withstand

Knowing it will come yet again and prey upon this land

 

Mother Nature has her evil ways to uphold awe and respect

She will bring her evil winds when she senses her neglect

To remind us that she is in charge of bringing wind and rain

Of creating twisters on the prairie; rattling her mighty chains
