to foresee a massive catastrophe
catastrophe and its associated calamity
calamity destruction and vast devastation
devastation in a massive catastrophe

the seas swelling to magnitude great
great their height of mountainous proportions
proportions which are awesome to espy
espy the magnitude of the seas

volcanoes erupting spewing forth much lava
lava flows uncontrollably over the lands
lands burning in the lava fire which doesn't subside
subside the fire will not

buildings in cities and rural locales shaking
shaking and rattling tectonic plates impacting
impacting on man's planet, tremors felt far and wide
wide the expanse of the Earth's shaking

men, women and children affected by the catastrophe
catastrophe foretold in ancient text
text which we've perused from time to time
time to refresh our modern day minds

man can't circumvent the immensity which shall unfold
unfold the catastrophe shall to our sight
sight the calamity and its associated ruin
ruin which is foreseen in ancient text
