And No One Looked Back

unexpectedly
volcanoes spewed hot lava…
     the end had begun

undersea earthquakes
produced many tsunamis…
     life on land succumbed

then a meteor
destroyed the last plot of land…
    Earth engulfed by sea

spirits were rising
all kind souls entered heaven…
     and no one looked back
