A tempest is brewing
Beneath our soles.
Coerced many massive mountains
but sundering them not;                                      consuming them.

With eons unequaled,
With few fathoms measurable
yet measuring the unfathomable.

Unrealistic fables,
As a dragon in a cavern,
Perhaps infernal heathens...                                     ludicrous claims, yet

No soothsayer's transmutations,
No reviser's adaptations,
Nor squabbling between politicians
could surmount to the tensions amassing beneath us.

Are we at pinnacle of the world?
Only if one's ego is at True North,
Merely the surface, unfurled forth.

But as molten iron dwindles slowly outward into hardened crust
As does man's manifested quest for greed and lust

So if a monolithic magma pool ever decides to ******
Hopefully it will gather a rather miraculous gust (it must!)

Distrusting the wicked, while sparing the just
As quickly as water turns ephemeral steel to rust.
