Hurricane
They said it wouldn’t hit us.
So, we decided not to worry.
We turned off any news of it.
Its course changed in a hurry.
We decide it’s not our problem.
Then, preparing wasn’t done.
As it turned with every minute.
Heeding warnings had not begun.
In a world we claim to be safe.
Advice thrown away for our pride.
Climate issues, still not our concern.
Though many scientists have tried.
The missteps leave us unprotected.
The hurricane hits us straight on.
Scrambling for the usual comforts.
With our power and time now gone.
One day without lights and A/C.
Then the waiting begins.
Days come and then go with our hope.
Unprepared. Nobody wins.
This storm prompts us to get ready.
Do nothing. No one dared.
Certain other storms are coming.
This time, let’s get prepared.
