lightning bolts
that streak the skies
are hotter than the sun
their vibrations explode
with crack so near
or rumble low and far
light travels
at 186 000 per second
one million times than sound
that's why we first
see its flash and then
hear its sound
so keep an eye at the sky
when flashes come and go
for rain will drench
you from the clouds
so wet you’ll have
to run inside
this makes me think
that some humans
crack and spark
although some rumble all day long
and, if they spark
then be aware
their bark might not be their bite
but, do take care
when there’s no flash
their rumblings might turn to war
the moral of the story is
to read the signs
both of nature
and of man
as these will assure
that you will live
to see another day!
