Vexed By A Volcano Poem by Sandra Martyres

The world seems to be
Turning topsy turvy
I hear from the whisperings
Of the older generation
They seem almost convinced
That the world will end soon
What has triggered this despair
The answer lies in the calamities
Of unimaginable proportions
That are plaguing planet Earth today
The latest being the Icelandic Volcano
Spewing thick black clouds of toxic ash
Into the atmosphere creating panic
As a dark blanket hides the blue skies
Bringing the airlines on their knees with
Gounded flights, desperate passengers
Adding to their list of never ending woes
Should these sky borne emissions continue
The airlines for one will encounter problems
Of the likes of which they have never known,
Losses and debts will mount leaving behind
For them a smoking volcano of another kind.
