LOOK BUT DON'T TOUCH

Watch me from a distant place,

See me kiss the sky;

Watch as from around me race

Those who live nearby.

Rivers that engulf the trees,

Down my sides flow with ease;

Neither man nor man's machines

Can hope to slow my fearsome stream.

My neighbors flee in terror

From my burning wrath,

Nothing withstands my power,

As I carve my deadly path.

I melt the earth and boil the seas,

I choke the air, and with poisons seize

All around me in my grasp,

My molten touch the final trap.

Volcano
