Victim of the storm



"If you work the words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who dug deep and laid the foundation of his house on bedrock. When the river burst its banks and crashed against the house, nothing could shake it; it was built to last. But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a dumb carpenter who built a house but skipped the foundation. When the swollen river came crashing in, it collapsed like a house of cards. It was a total loss." (Message)

“The way of fools seems right to them.” Proverbs 12:15a (NIV)



Built on sand.
Saved a few grand.
Until the storm.
Until the storm.

Financed by a sub-prime.
Plan to flip it in ten months time.
Until the storm.
Until the storm.


My love left me.
I waved goodbye on the porch.
As the storm approached.
As the storm approached.

Outgo exceeded income.
The neighborhood is turning into a slum.
As the storm howled its warning.
As the storm howled its warning.

The waters drove me up a tree.
The river drove the house to the sea.
And then the storm ceased to be .
And then the storm ceased to be.

Stuck in a FEMA trailer.
A failure.
Got foreclosed on the loan.
All alone.
A victim of the storm.
A victim of the storm.
A victim of the storm.
