Hell's gatekeeper, it seems, has become lax
no longer guarding the sacred precincts of the
damned oblivious to the fugitive hosts of hellfire
abandoning their posts despite that so many have
descended whose souls require constant flagellation
in recognition of their sins of commission against
fellow humans. Aides de feu now roam upper Earth's
forests bringing with them fire and brimstone and
inhumane heat the devil himself would happily lave
within. Rumour has it that an ungodly pact was reached
between heaven and hell not to interfere with one another's
gifts to humanity. Indubitable gifts they are; sun and rain
from above, fire from below, essential to existence
the excess of which equates to nature's dysfunctional
uneven distribution over her creation; abnormal heat
domes of punishing depths sparking drought and
wildfires of perishing dimensions while elsewhere
hurricanes usher copious rains flushing mountain
sides into valleys below while rivers and lakes swell
overrun their floodplains drowning humanity's efforts
at taming nature's geological boundaries into disaster.
