Catastrophe (n):
An event causing great and usually sudden damage or destruction; a disaster.
When the Earth beneath our feet shakes,
And the sky turns grey,
When the frightened bubbles hastily leap in the lakes,
And enlightening the Earth is not a single ray.
It's that moment when tempers of the mightiest fray,
Considering their thralls can no longer stick by,
As they witness the corpses and the carcasses,
Already on the ground which lay.
Even in the shadow of swords and shields,
They can't escape the tumbling mountains themselves,
Crushed by the mere fright looming in the air,
Neither can they command their wounds to not bleed.
The venom which spilled from their mouths so effortlessly,
The sinister laughter which echoed so perniciously,
The unambiguous pride which radiated off their heaved chests,
All deeds lie restless; watching their doom so scornfully.
Soon enough, they'll be a mass of rotten bones,
The opulence long gone,
Bringing an end to their final moans,
Pleading for another chance which they patently can't own.
