Volcano

The surface is cold
Seems very calm and controlled
From the looks of it; it won’t erupt before millions of years
It gets agitated
Triggered
Provoked to explode
Irritated
Many factors aspire it to go wild
And still the surface is quiet
With no signs of reactions
Staying still as a rock
A myth goes around saying that late at night,
The surface slightly moves,
Causing a few drops of liquid to flow
But that’s all to it
A Myth
No one saw it dripping
And no one heard it weeping
Some say that it does that every night
And others say that it only does that when the town kids throw stones in it
This mountain body has been quiet with no eruptions for many years
None of the town’s people can even remember the last time they heard about its last eruption
The town’s people aren’t afraid of it
They camp around it,
Go to picnics on its tip,
And decorate it on Christmas
However, they started abusing it lately
They burn garbage next to it,
Throw stones on it,
And store disposals on it
Not aware of its danger
They abuse it more and more
And the myth is coming to life
But that they don’t know
They take it for granted
But the volcano is about to explode
And those dripping weeps will turn into a waterfall of lava
Eventually the volcano will erupt
And the lava that has been boiling for years in a small space,
Will get the chance to burst in a vast space
Maybe people will get hurt
Maybe the mountain vessel that contains it will get destroyed
But the volcano is now weeping out of pain
The only way that will relieve its pain is through this eruption
The lava has been boiling for years and needs a crack to be set free through
The volcano is awaiting
The volcano is weeping
The volcano needs to be released!!
