Core…
Prominence Earth (Photo credit: Lights In The Dark)
I watched with mouth agape at the volcanic eruption as earth spurted in anger.
‘What’s this? Why so much anger, so much stress?’
‘Because I’ve been so unfairly treated,’ said Mr. Earth,
‘By who?,’ I asked in fear.
‘By the sons of men,’ Mr. Earth replied with an ancient growl
that ruled the waves of the sea.
‘I’m tired of the bloodshed, the hunger and the tears of the innocent,
men raping women, children killing adults and babies,
evil abounds and I’m losing my patience
my core will spill out and it’s not going to be pretty.’
I was quiet, staring in disbelief as the rain of fire intensified
I’ll better run, I mused and found out my feet was glued
to the ground as lava moved stealthily towards me.
‘Only a change of heart can save your planet,’
Mr. Earth’s eerie voice receded into
darkness and I woke up!
It was all a dream…
