Volcano
Mountain in slumber, dormant of thunder,
Boiling to the core, Itβs capable asunder.
Of epic proportions it stands so grand,
Itβll change lives if unsettled, itβll devastate land,
Shake sand, uproot trees and rock, obliterate farmers cattle and flock.Β
Villages, spillages, lava, so take stock, itβs to be feared and viewed upon in awe!Β
Its more than just rock.
Tremors, like tenors with thunderous voice echo through billows,
Creates widows in its blackened gulf,
Engulfs the sky and air, run from her temper, thereβs hidden beauty in there!Β
Raining ash cascading, fading fauna of life, acid waters in rife,
Tremendous form, entrapped in her flare, quick to mourn.Β
Quick to end life.
It is far from quick, itβs sick in epic sight, in plight the world stops.... Β
