A poem that invokes the fear and power of greed and a redemption from it.
Enlightening Lightning
I walked the halls unbidden, unbound,
I stalked the halls absolutely no sound,
I followed my target out the door,
But found I was the target much more.
I was brought to the chamber and stood at the stand,
I looked up at the rattling hand,
I called for lightning,
There was none.

That hand came down smashing my fate,
Replacing my fear with boiling hate,
I looked at the man, who had put me here,
That man, a framing peer.
And, though feeling like screamin’,
At that damn evil demon,
I called for lightning,
There was none.

And that demon just laughed,
At the product of his craft,
And I ran for the hills,
Followed by political wills,
I called for lightning,
There was none.

So I hid in a tree,
Where they’d pass by me,
Now with a storm in the air,
I finally made it there.
I stood on the highest hill,
The wind a bone-chilling chill,
I called for lightning,
There was none.

I withstood the plant’s sound,
Whose cords were hospital bound,
Where I’d wait just to end,
My horrible, demonic friend,
And soon he arrived,
To find I’d survived,
I called for lightning,
There was none.


So I made lightning and threw,
At that evil demon who,
Moved out of the way,
And I killed the plant in the fray,
I fell to my knees,
Thinking I heard their pleas,
And when I saw a pole,
That might save their souls,
I prayed for lightning,
There was lightning.
