The earth quakes and the sea stirs. The mountain rumbles back – communicating in only their voice. They are the pray surrounding the predator – waiting to take back what belongs to them. Playfully, we gamble – at all cost – selfishly.

We once were vulnerable – embedded and born to survive in their realm. Many circles around the sun, and we somehow acquire control. In a blink – we dominate – total devastation. A blinds eye to see that destroying them will destroy ourselves, but power makes even the most reasonable – ignorant. We take and take and take.

Uncovered wounds bleed and seep and eventually contaminate everything under the surface. It awakens a new, unseen virus that attacks from inside. From beneath. From above.

There is no where left to hide. What we took no longer serves us when what created it emerges as the enemy and is back for revenge.

Stubborn. Proud. We deny. So, the ground quakes, the sea stirs and the mountain rumbles.

Then there is fire.

We extinct.

Peace restores.
