As thunderous thunderstorms brew
over a rocky mountained view,
my musing mood becomes hued
with a crescendo of loud colors
as the sky is painted a bloody crimson,
splattering the cobalt blue sky,
forcing me to wonder why
even billowing bursts of creamy white clouds
cannot cover up the tears I cry
in anger and sheer frustration.
For this human race must surely face
a higher power some day.

What will we say
when we come face-to-face
with whatever or whoever
rightfully rules our universe?

For it surely cannot be ruled
by you or me,
for we are too petty, stupid and rude,
and even the lowest snake in the grass
offers up more honesty and sensibility
in acceptance of his position,
and does not pretend to rule
heaven, hell,
or earth.

How did this fall?  The human race surely will face that higher power and that will be the day of reckoning I suspect.  Take care you - don't you just love Penn.?
