THUNDER UNDERGROUND

We think there's
safety in numbers

but we forget about
The Thunder.

The Thunder
from underground.

On a pleasant sunny day
just like any other day

the earth exploded
with FIRE!

And as the smoke
rose higher...

We heard the anquish
of the cryers...

And through tear clouded eyes
they asked why...

They asked why.

(It doesn't matter why)
(dead is still dead)
