T'was the night of the storm; <br />Two nations stood silent; <br />Travailing emotions; <br />To it's imminent effect. <br />Lightning and thunder, <br />Frazzle clear mid-east skies; <br />From a desert storm. <br />On a hot winters night, <br />Ensconced in a bunker; safe from the storm; <br />Sits the cause .... dining on fresh humble pie.<br /><br />Frank James Ryan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cause-and-effect-2/
