I am tornado...watch me destroy!

written by: skosko

the warning....

look out everything
i'm coming your way
i'll pick you up
whirl you around
tear you apart
then call it a day

the taunting...

why, WHYYYY
you scream & cry
i look at you
with trenchant eye
and in my fury i reply

WHY... why NOT
after all...
i'm a giant tornado
and you...
are so small

the reply...

small u say
why i'm just as grand
on a different scale
as you without land
my feet planted firmly
on the ground
i have MY strength
with OUT whirling around

i'm strong as u
just not so bold
and quite as fierce
just not so cold

so come on tornado
spin your tail
whip it around
to what avail?
things strewn about
some clean up to do
just as before
and after you

don't get me wrong
i respect and awe
your natural beauty
so simple and raw

i'll try not to underestimate
your power
that i plainly see
my point
dear spirit of the wind
is maybe... you
underestimate me
