It grew from flat ground.
first just as a small protrusion,
and day by day, It grew,
higher and higher.

substance began to fill up inside It,
pressure builds up.
It spews out Its content,
bit by bit,
contributing to Its height.

one day,
when It has become "fully grown",
the pressure has become too high,
It exploded.

Its contents shot up high into the air.
but probably not high enough,
or not accurate enough,
to hit the birds above.

after all that "show",
the contents just have to accept its fate.
to flow back onto the sides,
onto the flat ground,
again.

it may have caused damage,
caused injuries.
but it is only temporary.

Its top is blown off.
Its content depleted.
now It lays,
dormant.

whether It will become extinct,
or active again,
we can't really tell.

we can only wait and see.

and do we have a choice in deciding?
do we play a part?
