The rain splattered like snow balls in the window pane,

Unhindered and incessant.

The waters rose as fast as galloping horses,

thundering and ruthless.

It wreak  havoc amongst men and properties,

no creed, no measure.

There was no time to think or react,

You’ve got to run for your life.

This storm made me realize one thing;

That fame and fortune do not matter.
