Eruption

Dormant for a thousand years Then one day the mountain erupts Exploding in a thick cloud of black smoke Burning ash and molten lava So too Deep in the heart of things Festering beneath the surface Years of bitter resentment Anger and hatred Explode in a moment of violent fury Like the mountain Dormant for a thousand years Before the volcanic eruption.
