Storms of War

Man is a hurricaine that can choose not to blow;
a storm not just with eye but heart and mind;
the birth of a wildfire that can refuse to grow;
a tornado  whose wind it can unwind;
a tidal wave that has the power to stop and turn around;
an earthquake that could easily lie still
and so its strange that, still, man's bombs like heartless hailstones pound
that storms of war still rage and, innocents, still kill.
