It's judgment day
and hail
the size of fists
rains down
on everyone
making
senseless behavior
the norm.
Those
wet and bleeding
who have remained
conscious
in spite of
the beating
taken
wisely seek
shelter
from their fellow creatures
violent
in their ignorance
and fear
indiscriminately
destroying others
like themselves
as well as
those
able to help.
Equally disturbing
is the laughter
in the background
from
men and women
delighted
by the madness
and mayhem.
