Act of God

Armageddon at hand with a shake of the earth, as walls of water swallow all that lives within the darkness of this massive killing machine, with the might to slaughter humanity. Death clouds cascade down slopes, devastating the population of life, as this monster envelops all in its path, spewing the blood of this planet, as hell reaches the surface. The finger of God touching flat desolate soils, concealed in skies of an eerie shade of black, that destroys everything and anything this finger of death touches within this deadly act of God. A cluster of clouds feed by the warm waters of the cancers, with a clock wise motion, that gives birth to a one eyed beast, as it devours and consumes small islands left vulnerable to the seas around them. An old man with violent artic breath, blowing unrelentlessly over the land, causing life to stand still in time. The freeze kills all stranded in this sub-zero environment, as vitality in one is suppressed and suffocated, with that eternal light of life fading to black. A un forgiving world bequeathed upon man, with the tools of knowledge to battle and survive this endless war with the all-powerful forces of nature.
