mother nature or just some mothers?

as molten lava hardens and leaves it's landscape from the cool waves dashing and dancing around it....
​​​as trees smoulder into ash and drop where they once stood erect swaying in the volcanic breeze.....
sulphur seeping through crevices into the earths atmosphere.
bubbling to the surface like a witches broth settling on a fire in her big black cauldron....
animals run,
animals scarper,
as they see everything turn grey and darker....
through it all they see the bright orange and flickering red on the darkened horizon. 
it's not pretty.
it's not nice.
right at this very moment they'd prefer an endless landscape of mountains and ice....
once all has settled and devastation is left,
no animals or vegetation or buildings stood the test.....
stood the test of mother nature and what a bitch she can be,
to me,
i thought mothers were here to protect......
some are, 
some aren't,
some can and some won't.
mother nature is all of these and more but from time to time she lets rip one hell of a storm
