Understanding the science

behind lightning's mighty strike

never robbed a man of his fear of it.

Everywhere it goes it leaves a trail of ashes.

All this energy spent on mystifying the skies

with white-hot light

cannot simply be for nothing.

If lightning had a voice,

it would tell its victims:

"I cannot love you,

except violently."

That's what I whisper

to the ones I burned to ashes

I Became Lightning
