When choosing a Solar System for your Earth,
Please keep this in mind:
Star size and color will determine where the planetary placement is most
optimal. Commonly known as "The Green Zone."
One moon, or two?
Earth size one, two, or three.
Class A, B, or C to Z.
Gas requirements for breathable Atmosphere.
Life span and spin. Degree of magmatism.
Oceans, mountains, continents.
Lakes, deserts, fountains of youth (first ones free), volcanos.
Marshes, rivers, trenches, whatever desired.
TIME zones, climate zones, anything-goes zones.
Magnetic poles, hot, warm, or cold, colorful dirt and/or sand.
And last but not least: Inhabitants. (provided only by request).

As powerful as the forces of nature are,
There will be humans who adapt an survive,
Until balance is restored in the eco-system.
The wind can calm itself,
Water will recede from flooded areas,
New growth comes after volcanos become dormant,
Fires will burn themselves out,
Earthquakes only result in better building techniques,
Ensuring more people survive them,
And even if mankind through ignorance and greed,
Gives these forces a helping hand,
To destroy the earth,
We now have the means to move to other places
In the universe.
There is however another force that dwells inside humans themselves,
That can do what the forces of nature combined cannot,
And goes wherever humans go,
The name we give to this force, is REVENGE.
And there is only one power that can possible dissipate it,
Before it wipes out the human race,
And that is the power of prayer,
Which is the only power that can trump revenge,
With Forgiveness,
And unconditional Love.

The volcano leveled
then a great wind blew the rest away.
Early humans came late.
They had callused soles and rough hands
they knew how to dig,
run and hide.
When the flood came
they were at ease feasting on stringy meat and bones
in the makeshift camps of their tribes.
The locust eating priests
declared it was everyone's fault
but theirs.
Contrite, and greatly diminished in number
they began to scratch the history of the world
on random stones.
Volcanos grew testy again
smoke and fiery fumes scorched the sky.
They packed up their meager possessions
and trekked. The tribes did not stop walking
until they found a lost scripture in the dust.
Some called the find a bible
written by soothsayers
yet unborn,
but in truth
it was yet another mystical footprint
to follow -
a sign to track
out of this inexplicable land
that kept blowing away
on the shifting sands
of bad times.

Torrential rain poured on that Jurassic day
The seas swallowed lands or just washed them away
Dinosaurs fled from the rivers that topped
And everything steamed once the downpour had stopped
Volcanos were belching black smoke from their vents
A soot laden sky topped an atmosphere dense
On high, lava flowed like the mountains were bleeding
Below them, no sign of the waters receding
Oil, coal and gas were still young in the making
Nobody knew it was there for the taking
And so to the high ground those giants were swarming
But few carried signs saying, “Stop global warming!”

I am thousands of feet below your surface,
you're deep.
Your inner worlds are legendary
lovely to explore with a farseeing mind
but I'm going deeper
the landscape is changing,
hell holes spew a residual purulence
like long popped pimples
now they have become
rugged antediluvian volcanos.
The badlands slowly give way,
I enter alien territory
a spherical spacecraft is sighted,
no i'm mistaken
its a crusty old golf ball
you once hooked into the rough
in a former existence.
Sweet grassland now
but it's not of your earth or mine.
Perhaps it is a mind within a mind
it pulsates.
I am beginning to realize
that the only way out of here
is to be one of your dream lovers
we can share memories
of being worlds within worlds
two inner space beings
and deep
so very deep.

When volcanos blow your nostrils swell
Your eyeballs cross your eyebrows as well
You lose control
You begin to unroll
You sit down take a break what the hell

Volcanos split the earth
Venting the heat within,
Vaulting upwards at rim.
Vermillion-burnt magma
Vrooms the molten lava-
Vailing, melting all paths;
Verily, countless deaths.

I’m an Eskimo
From the North Pole
Being cooled by my gene
Don’t,throw
Lavas from the Volcanos
What it may be
Not harm them me
Know
I’m an Eskimo
From the North Pole
Being cooled set by my gene

On a particular subject let's cut the pallava.
When volcanos erupt you must expect lava.
Don't stand in its way Nature's laws to defy
unless, of course, it's your intention to die.
Let me add without seeming too cynical
Avoid taking a leap from a mighty high pinnacle
in the vain hope of nature's protection
by making of you a total exception.
I avoid like the plague all striving in politics;
Republicans, Democrats and similar fiddlesticks.
No orders I will take from Senate or President.
By now this fact to all should be evident.
If you yourselves courted the horrors that came,
I regret to inform that 'm not to blame.

Some people's reactions are like volcanoes erupting
Their personalities are explosive with words quite cutting
Not aware of their actions
Focused on their passion
For all other topics, their minds are shutting

Hail, O Storm Bringer
Your lightning cracks up the sky
As you roll onward
Your thunder pounds Earth
Trumpeting your arrival
Storm Charioteer
You ride the cold wind
Dark grey clouds your chariot
Winged horses flying
Torrents of cold rain
To soak a dry, thirsty world
Falling from your eyes
Strong cold winds blasting
With every breath you exhale
Bowing tree and man
You bring snow and hail
To a world frozen in fear
Frost covered icescape
Under a full moon
You make the oceans to rage
Towering, cold waves
You cause the earthquakes
The volcanos to erupt
Tornados to spin
Goddess Storm Bringer
Giver and taker of life
The bane of the earth
On mankind and earth
You have unsheathed your fury
A blade terrible
Nature prays to you
Mankind begs you show mercy
Paying you homage
What can withstand you?
All elements you command
All kingdoms you rule
You are Earth's Mother
The one who controls nature
We children fear you
Show mercy goddess
Old friend, bringer of chaos
Mighty Storm Bringer

The earth is beneath me
The turmoil is like volcanos
The challenge is like an ocean
The floods are coming
The mirror has cracked
The piece is like a petal
The stem is like a wooden spoon
The man has arrived
The universe is the core of existence
The star is like entangled roots
The planent is like a sweet and sour grapes
The prophecy has come true

Just let me drift off around the bend
As a whisper on the wind
A created vibration reverberating out
Forever traveling on and about
A never ending echo's ring
Summer, fall, winter, spring
I'll travel around the world so wide
And then burrow deep down inside
Then through a volcanos deep hot well
Erupting magnified through the atomosphere to reach out beyond what the human mind can tell
A shout may be heard from far away
But how far a whisper can travel no one can say

The times they are a changin
a wake up nature’s stagin
With temperatures a risin
its really no surprise then
This change is heatin up
volcanos soon to erupt
ice will melt much more
as oceans tsunami shores
Trees up root from ground
devastation all around!
The times they are a changin
as we try to reverse the raggin
These changing winds that blow
we can try to stop or slow
Survival is the reason to start
to repair earths broken heart
Bring peace to Mother Nature
take care of earth and nurture
With hope and love underpinning
plant the seeds of new beginnings

Ripples of lava,
Spewing out from volcanos
I am this flaw…
Sweet shards of I-don’t-knows
I am burning quite aflame
You like to always blame me
For your ridiculous game
Of blasphemous, insidious envy
I’d rather become numb with bad news
Instead of succumbing to nothing
I am ancient, gross gum on your shoes…
Darling, you were my everything
Until you stepped all over me and lied
Until you pressed upon me vanity
The darkness is somewhat dwelling inside
Our craniums of unknown gravity
You’re the lava in my heart's every beat
I am the volcanos that erupt in repeat
I’m falling apart by the seams of agony
You take me away with your melancholy
