Humans think they can move nature aside,
The earth laughs, it mostly will hide,
From people, pollution, and the mess we make,
Every now and then, nature's wrath we must take.
The wrath I speak of, comes in many forms,
A powerful hurricane, run fast from the storms.
A foot of water, the storm may send,
Fences and houses, you may need to mend.
Sandy's her name, just visited New York,
The day after, everyone's eating salted pork.
She flooded the streets, and turned out the light,
Happy she's gone, we bow to her might.
Speaking of storms, here's one that instills,
Fear of death, down your spine feel the chills.
Look here it comes, from over the hills,
A tornado, is swirling, better make out your wills.
Destroys anything placed in its path,
Nature is laughing, now feel her wrath!
Many other disasters are waiting for men,
Happening all of the time, we know not when.
Look at its flash, a brilliant light,
A billion tons of earth, taking flight.
Heat that will turn, your body to dust,
Before you die, to see one a must.
Can you guess of the forces, to which I speak?
An A bomb? Next to this, an A bomb is weak!
A volcanic eruption, its power has might,
The sound of explosion, causes many a fright.
Boiling lava runs down the side,
Don't get in its way, nowhere to hide.
St. Helens erupted, many years ago,
Thought she was dormant, then decided to blow,
The billions of tons of volcanic ash,
Covered 2 states, car washes made cash.
Missing people are listed, in Washington State,
No bodies to find, disintegration was their fate.
To close to Mt. Helens, during her blast,
All families have now, is the memories of the past.
These are just but a few, of nature's way,
To show all you people, who's the master today,
And tomorrow as well, never shares the spot light,
Nature's in charge, her power burns bright.
When the awesome power of the planet is displayed.
Hope today she is quiet, and catastrophe delayed.
