Lightning strikes
sirens roar
dogs howl
cats screech
children sleep soundly
and it is beautiful
Fires ignite
graves yawn
ants march
wasps sting
children laugh heartily
and it is beautiful
Wars rage
jihadists bomb
cancer metastasizes
bones rot
children play in the streets
and it is beautiful
Men cheat
women lie
marriages crack
love atrophies
children dance with their imagination
and it is beautiful
Chaos consumes
darkness reigns
nations divide
God resigns
children hold down the fort
and it is beautiful
