Impotence [POETRY]

​Nature furious –
Rain freezing,
Trees young and old
Mercilessly
Bent and broken.
Night lightning
Stabbing eyes.
Arctic cold
Piercing skin.
Ground thickly
Ice-covered;
Little creatures
Scratching for
A bit of food.
People’s houses
Frigid, dark,
Roofs crushed by
Heavy branches.
Lacking bread.
Screens blank
And silent.
Roads closed,
Cars immobile.
Fallen man seeks
Omnipotence,
Believes magic,
Technology,
Demonology
Will give it him.
Victories
There will seem to be,
But deceits
They will prove to be.
For man without Christ
Will only ever
Wallow in
His shameful
Impotence.
