The Face

for all that were touched by the disaster of Atlanta Georgia

 

Ever since I was a child, I have had an over whelming fear of you

I am not alone of my fear of you, I'm sure many more people are just like me

In your presence, there is really no safe place, a person's choice in this, well they are very few

When some crosses your path, I'm sure they just want to flee.

 

If any one has ever experienced what you have to give, I'm sure they just want to run away

You are so particular about whom and what you choose to affect

If people know you are headed their way, they gladly step aside,totally move out of your way

You can been seen on a horizon or in the clouds, you are not that hard to detect.

 

To some you still present yourself to people as some over you are still is awe

But not those, the ones that your path fate made you cross

Some of the older folks refer to you as the devil's claw

No doubt in my mind, if you think of stressful things then you are the boss.

 

When most think of you, people are so afraid they are going to die

I have seen you, as you so carefully choose the victims, the ones you choose to inflict your hell

Those that survive your wraith, only look to others looking for the answer to the question why

You wanting to sell your wares, death, destruction, and devastation, the survivors that live, to others of this downfall, they wish to warn and tell.

 

Those that have seen you, helplessly watch in disbelief, as you twist and turn

Delivering all the horrors, one could ever imagine in their mind

People, still wanting to know about you, them not caring how long they have to study and learn

Looking for answers about you, high and low, up and down, these answers they desperately hope to find.

 

Now you have shown your ugly face here, in the very deep South

A town that came back from the Civil War, the Olympic bombing back in ninety-six

Now Atlanta Georgia, a major city in the South

Twister, a major terror, when you show your face, not only buildings we have to repair, the death, also there remains so many human hearts that we have to fix.
