A Volcano’s Plea
Listen when I speak to you!
I wish to do you no harm.
Your bodies are small and fragile.
Pay attention when I sound the alarm.
I do not mind you exploring my slopes;
I even enjoy your laughs.
Humans are so fascinating
When they tread my lava paths.
A volcano must do as we are created for;
To follow our calling, you might say.
When the time comes for us to erupt,
You must stay far away.
