tectonic plates gnashing together
volcanic activity becoming more prevalent
tsunamis flooding coastal lands
there is much volatility on the Earth

the weather seemingly out of kilter
snows falling on the summer plains
scorching hot winds affecting the tundra ice
there is much volatility on the Earth

man deploying weapons of a chemical kind
killing innocent people well away from battle lines
not thinking of the consequences his operations will cause
there is much volatility on the Earth

the public is sickened by the political process
there is much volatility on the Earth

so much happening twenty four seven
there is much volatility on the Earth
