IN TIME

In time we will lose some of our planets, cities, due to violent events.

Earthquakes will claim a few, a game of chance when and where, collapsing

buildings, crushed people dying in carnage. What next? A tidal wave,

millions of tons of water at transonic speed.

Rising up, amplified by the coast, a hundred feet high, drowning, smashing

its way inland.

Swamping a city, bringing down skyscrapers like dominoes.

A race against time to escape. Many don’t make it, ask those in Banda Aceh.

What about volcanic destruction?

Mountain of fire spewing lava and hot gas

onto sleeping inhabitants, waking them up.

No time to sleep, do that when you’re dead.

Run for your life to get out before ash burns all.

Not to mention countdown to meteorite impact, death for all from outer space!
