                                                     Sirens blaring,

                                                      Children scream.

                                                     Hide in the hallways, safe rooms.

                                                       The freight train approached,

                                                Whistling as it whipped around playfully.

                                                       Worry the parents it thought,

                                                                Destroy everything.

                                                      Carelessly breaking shattering lives.

                                                              Children unknowing lost,

                                                          Parents stuck.

                                                                 Love, Prayers, and thoughts,

                                                        Guardians of the weak and helpless.

                                               Though it wasn't enough for some.

                                                       The some that boarded that train

                                                          Being whipped around to heaven.

                                                     The freight train retreated

                                                            Leaving a grieving mess.

                                                        The train called tornado.
