Hurricane Milton Storms Ashore

by jake cosmos aller

 

Hurricane Milton's

High winds, monster storm surges

rages across hard-hit Florida.

 

meanwhile, as the storm 

storms ashore 

Some deranged politicians lie

saying the federal government

is secretly controlling the weather.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The government is not doing enough

for political reasons.

for nefarious reasons

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

punishing red states

for voting for Trump.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The government diverting resources

to resettle immigrants,

destroying towns

to mine lithium.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Denying climate change

has anything to do

With these monster storms

Straight out of hell.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps Poseidon’s revenge?

Perhaps God is sending a message?

Or perhaps climate change

Is running amuck?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does it matter to Milton?

The storm does what it does

Storming across the state.

then out to sea.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People breathe a sigh of relief

Until the next monster storm

Slams ashore.

One of the saddest things about the recent storms is the flood of misinformation and lies about the Government's response and the deranged conspiracy theories that the government is manufacturing storms to punish red States.
