The tide rolled in and tilt the cup,
and thus did spill the final drop
upon the lips of thirsty sands;
brought out by the waves again.

The earth shook twice then caved right in
upon a few unfortunate heads.
Shook it off then rose above;
thank god for helmets.

The wind howled loudly as it toppled trees.
The earth split open and swallowed cities.
The volcano spat and ate Pompeii.

Nature giveth then it taketh away.
