Tornado Game
by TA Ramesh

A colossal Cooling Tower of a Power Station tornado looks like!
Centripetally sucking in and centrifugally spitting out everything
Like a formidable funnel tornado sweeps across destroying all!

Tornado destroying all the things disappears soon at a distance;
Natural phenomenon happening so astonishes all around the world!
It is like the spinning top children play God does through Nature.

It is amazing to see the tornado connected to the clouds and the ground
Moving like a spinning top all over the place making pulverizing action;
But agonizing to see people, cattle, trees and houses thrown up to pieces!

America’s tornado is similar to the Rhinoceroses of Africa and Asia!
Rhino charges its enemy head long in straight line bowing down its head;
People stand still till it comes near and escape moving away at closer range!

In the similar manner American people escape from the attacks of a tornado!
They hide in the underground bunkers to escape from the attacks of a tornado
Like the Japanese do, when the volcanic eruption or typhoon lashes out there.

Both Americans and Japanese continue their usual works after the disaster;
Tornado is not as dangerous as the huge destruction causing volcano or cyclone;
For, the havocs Tornado causes take place only very briefly on a small scale!

Tornado suddenly appears, sucks in, spits out all and disappears soon!
But all the materials are twisted and shattered to pieces in no minute!
Nature does fantastic things and funny things too to the wonder of mankind!

Like the bad boys of the cartoon pictures doing bad things for fun
Tornado does all kinds of havocs in no minute putting all in puzzle!
So, the wise guys play like with the Rhinos to win in this great game!
