Autistic Society: Eternal Storm

http://www.autisticsociety.org/2004/02/eternal-storm.html

Sunday, 1 February 2004. Crash down like rocks, ye thunder,. Upon this dry desert of human suffering! Reach down instantly, ye lightning,. To burn the evil upon this filthy ball! Fall with all your might, ye rain,. To meet the thirst for survival! Ye shall continue to drown out. The fire of hell upon the earth's surface,. Reinforcing all the good man has committed To the ends of the world! Storm the wide seas to enclose the dwelling place of man. With high walls of might and power! Brian Henson ©1970.
