    Well this place has been pretty dead for a while, so here's a new one from me.

    As doubt sinks in

    Storm filled clouds, float in a pale blue sky
    And the people ran for cover, under an open dry shade
    On the terminal screens, a forecast was displayed
    The red lights blinked with alarm, a warning
    Marquees tell of an incoming storm, a tornado

    And the people ran, some on their knees
    Some praying, as the children wept
    Wanting god to save them, from the inevitable

    A black cloud came, and threw down rain
    As a funnel made it's way through the town
    Glass went up in the air, and crashed back down
    Hitting the poor people who were in the way

    Blood splashed windows, wifes became widows
    Children orphans, still the masses prayed
    While outside in the danger, as if the basements weren't dry

    Waiting for a hand of god to put the nonsense to rest
    The people ran, and ran, but never sought shelter

    And those outside while on their knees
    Pay the ultimate price, up in the air they fly away
    For their god they give their life
    Because when they came back down, they had died

    Storm filled clouds, float in a pale blue sky
    And the people blink, while wondering how could this happen
    "God what have we done", they whisper with sounds of regret
    Thinking that, they've payed there debt

    A disbelieving man, stands at the side of a street corner
    Eyes wide, and not a single scratch or mark on him.
    He looks around at the destruction, knows it must stand for something
    A old certainty dies as a new a new hope is born

    And around him on the terminal screens, a forecast was displayed
    The red lights blinked with alarm, a warning
    Marquees tell of an vanishing storm.

    And then the blackness clears, and that girl opens her eyes
    And throws away her fears, realizing that it's safe now
    But what if weren't? That idea, is branded into her mind
    Finally sureness fades as doubt sinks in.
