Unforseen Forces

In the year 500 after death

Was the cataclysmic event that brought the demise

A volcanic mountain erupted and shattered

Climatic patterns affected now changed

Plant and human life was plunged into darkness,

For about 20 years

Food was short, disease ran rampant

Night now darkens the day

Storms of rain, soot and ash, fell down from this darkened sky

Filling the fields with snow not white

Winter that lasts the whole year, too cold to raise a crop

Gold can't buy you food, when there is none to be bought

Oh destruction of mankind

Could have taken place, but we had the strength

To live through the hardships of the hardest times

The darkest times

Moving plates in the ground

Affects the crust below

Mt. Krakatau now faces

Unforeseen Forces of Mother Nature

First thought to be a comet

That brought this change

But now the trees

Out silent witness can tell us the truth

Unforeseen Forces of Mother Nature
