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.
