A poem (to the best of my knowledge)

All the blustering of a nor'easters gale
Full of intensity and thrice the chill
Sweeping over both land and sea
With ample warning, it struck us still

Extreme is the force behind this storm
To respond, women and men cannot refrain
Each clash rains a hatred, overflowing,
The run-off seeps into the brain

In a fury, all parties spring to action,
Not knowing how or why
To save us all, sacrifices must be made,
And surely some will die

A biting cold creeps towards the heart,
Unrest aims to destroy what's long been there
Each individual rhythm is unique, isolated,
Vulnerable is the symbol we all share

The wrath peaks, giving way to silence,
We cling to hope, holding our loved ones near
In a sudden flash, the storm breaks,
Is anyone there? as the clouds begin to clear
