Religion: Nature on the Rampage

Horror struck at night
Pious grieving survivor
Locust plague ends all

~\/~

Mormon crickets
Utah infested
Church's poison-laced molasses bait

~\/~

Medieval priest pallbearer
Agent of Black Death bubonic plague
Self-Flagellation to atone for sin

~\/~
 
Fleas stow away on man's ships
Old Testament stories on Babylonian clay tablets
Pious rats forage in deadly cargo

~\/~

Fire ants stinging Scripture
Biblical supercolonies haul home their kin
Set fire to the mound

~\/~

Languishing boxcars
Abandoned rail line
Amish pecan groves turn into a blight

~\/~

Like winnowing chaff
Trailer park tornado aerial maelstrom
Religious cult went up in shreds

~\/~

Jehovah midsummer flood nightmare
Family bible sinks as in Genesis ... windows in
Heaven were stopped ... waters returned from off the Earth

~\/~

Divine punishment
Religion in primordial soup
Lightning witnessing Creation and Destruction

~\/~

God's tinderbox Apocalyptic Fire
Prophet draws on the forces of Evil
Religion Nature of Rampage

~\/~

Book of Revelation
And the heaven
Departed as a scroll

~\/~

As the Old Order
Is Destroyed to
Usher in the New
