Yellowstone Memorial Day

The earth seemed asleep

As if time had been paused

A silence so deep

Even birds stopped their song

The wind had died down

The air became close

When from under the ground

Nature’s fury arose

Then out of the blue

The world started to shake

There was nothing to do

No way out, no escape

The earth belched out fire

Erupting in rage

Ashes darkened the skies

Thousands died in the flames

Man will always remember

Death and fire fell like rain

Changing history forever

The quake to end all quakes

Yellowstone memorial day

Lest we never forget

Our planet’s a cruel place

We are living… on the edge

Shockwaves circled the earth

Massive waves crushed the shores

All the world felt the burst

The unstoppable force

Our technology failed

To avoid this event

Mother nature prevailed

And she’ll do it again!
