Tempest's harvest

Tempest's harvest,
floody rain, urgent like tears,
her wind doth not
protest enough.
I watch her lash out,
hear her cries of dying birth,
disdained by weathermen,
who think they know everything
about her.
Tempest's harvest,
a twin crop, ignored,
and the have nots,
are growing like weeds.
I stumble over those fields now,
setting off hidden mines of myself,
deconstructing via henchmen,
who tell me they know
what is best.
Tempest's harvest,
the blind knight of havoc,
limp bodies in the morning light
are strewn like fallen trees.
I read the liars reviews,
but I know the truth myself.
Greed rezones comforts,
and I confess, I too,
have had more than my share.
