Volcanic Fury

Deep within the bowels of the earth a pressure builds up in intensity As lava and gases increase in growth bubbling and seething with angry fury The pressure continues to build up directly under the earth's crust Which finally weakens and blows its top yielding to the pressure's upward thrust The action produces a huge crater through which ferocious flames exit Painting the sky in a red orange colour in an awesome fiery exhibit It's a grand display of fireworks power generated by Mother Nature Which reaches out both near and far in testimony of its grandeur Clouds of ash and smoke rise up to the sky spreading for miles and miles around Obscuring vision both far and nigh before most of the ash falls to the ground A thick outpouring of red hot lava scorches everything that lies in its path Streaming down the sides of the crater as it moves on with relentless wrath Volcanic action has an awesome tale to tell of what goes on under earth's placid shell It's where red hot lava and gases dwell which when released create a fiery hell
