RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVER SERIES
The Rhine
The river that gives life to Berlin
The beating heart of the German nation
River of castles and fortifications
Where the Romans claimed their empire
The Rhine has grown angry and proud
Determined to have its revenge
The only way it knows how
It rises to claim the land beneath homes
Beneath buildings bridges and towns
The people are at her mercy
They run for cover
They plead for help
They pray for survival
When the river is angry
The people listen
There will be no comfort
It will not be fine
Til they make their peace
With the River Rhine
