Rag-Dolled By The Roaring Waves

Wasted by a howling wind

Beaten back by biting dust

Pelted by the pouring rain

Frozen by that driven snow

Frightened off by lightning flashes

Swept away by swirling floods

Buried beneath building rubble

Stung all over by swarming pests

Swallowed up by dark tsunami

Ravaged by raging forest fire

Burned alive with bubonic plague

Weakened being tired and wet

Curled up tight against the cold

Driven off by constant drought

Carried over curving waterfalls

Drifted in with fat dead fishes

Decomposed in wasteful dumps

Shot dead by some unknown soldier

Broiled crisp under a burning sun

Entombed beneath icy avalanches

Dangled off of dangerous cliffs

Struck silent by so much starlight

Maddened under a fall full moon

Deafened by the thunder’s din

Silenced by their quiet suffering

Given cancer by corpro-nutrients

Rag-dolled by the roaring waves

Singled out by biting swarms

Ground up fine by heavy glaciers

Fried crisp in fiery volcanoes

Smothered by our own toxic smoke

Ripped apart in rock-filled canyons

Sunk far too deep in salty oceans

Tossed down from the tallest trees

Lost the way in dark limestone caves

Wandered off among the wondrous clouds
