An Opinion
An opinion can obliterate
So much more than Earth can devastate.
No trembling and monstrous, shattering quake
Can smash buildings like thoughts a mind can make.
Rash decisions will cause cities to break,
Crumbling by a heavy idea's weight.
The cracking whips, the gashing from thunder
Cannot beat down as hard as the plunder
That deviates all into a sunder.
The mind makes a disaster seem sedate.
Whirlwinds and tropical, gale-force breezes
Halt their wreckage, the destruction ceases,
When a thought is free as it pleases.
No swirling vortex can swell as irate.
Even if our world were to torch its lush land
In explosive paroxysms so grand
That each storm before pales. Wit will stand,
Forming chaos more unbridled and great.
