As all stories go
Bouncing back, a long long ago
Calamity struck the mound
Disaster shook the ground.
Eccentrically magical- the mighty mountain,
Fiercely beautiful, but a danger to all men.
Gallons of fire, destroying the land,
Howling in hear, as people held on to their life so dear.
If only theh knew, the prophecy untold
Jeopardy of events about to unfold.
Kindling hope, even the spark in the night
Lost and gone, along with their lives.
Millenia passed, the tragedy now a legend
Nonetheless it lingered, the fear of the end.
Obscure, I know, for a traveller like me
Passing history, is all I see.
Quaint little buildings with a painful past
Ruined palace and a cemetery so vast.
Scars of the wound forever unhealed
Tales so cruel, filling the field.
Utopia of paradise, it used to be-
Vandalized dystopia now, what an irony!
Wave of incredulity hit me like the storm
Xylophone bars sang a captivating song.
Years might\'ve passed, but there it still stood
Zooming high above, oh! How majestic the legendary volcano looked!
