Natures Way
Wind blows across the field
There is nothing that can shield
Stalks of wheat from swaying
Just their roots keep them staying
Firmly planted in the ground
From the turmoil all around
The husks grip with endeavour
Will this chaos last forever
Then the sudden flash above
Spreading over like a glove
Each finger touches so
Shock of lightening they know
Some will shrivel from the blow
As they burst in flame & glow
Then they just are embers left
The farmer he will be bereft
The crop that he so gently sowed
To pay the debts that are owed
So he'll have to toil some more
As he did those times before
An act of God some may say
But it's only natures way
