It had been warned over centuries the eruption
of a volcano under a park
the surface the outer crust of a bubbling inferno
where animals freely roamed
experts with conflicting opinions and scenarios
whether or not the lava blows!
Speculation of a day animals stampeding in panic
heading out of the national park
earth tremors shaking the ground as tensions rose
the area about to explode
every roadway and tracks becoming thermogenic
humidity steaming and thick!
A vast landscape of mountains and sloping forests
deep lakes with rolling plains
it would be devastation if the eruption did befall
in this wondrous locality
those who lived around the park contemplated
were their futures fated?
On a warm summers day it began the sun rising
the dew quickly evaporating
a wonderful scene to gaze upon a normal day
though faint tremors
hardly noticeable in the beginning escalated
swiftly became unabated!
It soon became apparent that the unthinkable
a long predicted eruption
of this picturesque national park had begun
it was known the surface
was the vast crust covering the volcanoes top
and lava nothing could stop!
Years of planning made evacuation much easier
but the scale unprecedented
fast flowing molten lava and gases accelerated
overtaking those fleeing
a huge black cloud ascended into the clear sky
and light to man did deny!
Lava swallowed up land or it crumbled away
the once idyllic views lost
an enduring darkness and coldness began
spreading around the globe
humanity would have to battle nature as one
for its survival to be won!
Could this scenario happen it seems very possible!
