The Embarking of a Lightning Strike

Consider the beginnings of a tree this wooden bark all comes from a seed through the years of growth to materialise producing wood meets many a need But not every tree reaches its goal some are stopped, providentially split building up by a power of forces outwith causing its end before it has to quit Lightning strikes from way up high coming down with ferocious force stripping the outer bark like a force 10 leaving it bare like it's voice gone hoarse The flames erupt at the point of strike burning most of the trees inner core nothing left of its productive growth burned alive before reading its shore Such is this world's end in sight the embarking of a lightning strike for then left bare stripped by fire rejecting the saviour, listen to the liar (It was based on lightning strikes on woodland and its effect)

Gordon, your analogy is very descriptive and cautionary. The last lines speak accurately of the Devil's hold. Janice
