Vesuvius erupted in the vicinity
Sending plumes of ashes to the sky
The molten rock flowed in an amber gleam
Fast and furious drowning low and high
Everyone spoke about Pompeii city.
It’s dwellers and the calamity caused
The world lamented about its offspring
The lives stopped, and the lives paused
No one but only Vesuvius knew
The pressure she held deep inside
For years, how she tried to understand
To be patient and to be kind
All the years she suffered alone
She was an art to the world blind
The very moment she lost her grip
She was one of the worst kind
