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
