Ice and Fire
ICE AND FIRE
Some say the world will end in ice
Some say in fire
From what I've experienced of desire
I hold with those who favor ice
But if it had to depart this life twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that obliteration by fire
Is great but would not be acceptable
If this world was to end in fire
The damage would be awfully
Devastating even before the smoke
goes up into space where someone
Will always be looking for pies
Or perhaps chasing beautiful images
