Firestorms

A. W. Nutter Firestorms struck, killing man kind Ivory towers quickly turning to dust Treasures and fortunes all left behind Melting, burning and gathering rust Nuclear winter, locks the world in ice Destroying the rest of God's creation Man's destruction brought on from vice Fitting testimonial to his depravation Sun unable to penetrate the clouds The rain continuing its endless siege Cleansing the once fertile grounds Nature reclaiming her lost heritage Forests grow, at accelerated rates No longer barren, fields turn green Animals, the only creatures God creates To inhabit the new garden of Eden

Oh wow, what a chilling way of ending this, Anthony--I suppose we deserve that to happen--it really is ironic how mankind was assigned to be the caretaker of all things yet we do the opposite--a very thought-provoking write that also wonderfully written, thanks Anthony! --nikko :)
