Names of Hurricanes (a brief poem)

Names of Hurricanes

I bet no Mother Earth would give birth to you

ripping and roaring through what was a standstill

I bet the girl or boy would be hell bent from the beginning

reeking havoc and not taking a tit

I bet each one wants to be known for one notch against wood

laying water down as a last resort to any getting close

I bet you never want to be their name and find yourself nameless

better than being helpless or hopeless or wanting any less of life

I bet the name is signed all over the land in it's learned art

calligraphy or electronically in blue

I bet you measure who's name is more strong and powering

going down in history like a story you can't forget

I bet each name is chosen to be without personality

just a faceless and merciless entity driving home destruction.
