The 4 Elements of Earth

Wind whistles and screams in people's ears,

The cool air sending shivers down their spines,

Their teeth chattering faster than a snare drum,

Air.

Tongues of flames flicker and dance,

Tear down homes, tear down trees, tear down people,

The melting pain like 1000 needles gradually piercing the skin,

Fire.

Oceans cover the globe, rivers run endlessly,

Water can be so evil, engulfing people whole in floods,

Drowning thoughts until they are none,

Water.

Mudding, swallowing people whole as they struggle to escape,

Vines twist around their mouth, claiming their last words,

Carnivorous plants gnawing at them,

Earth.
