Fiery and icy end

 

 A man whose name itself was Frost,

Surprisingly said the earth would end

When paying a fiery global warming cost

As an afterthought he said, however,

If it were to die again, thereafter,

In frigid, icy water, all will be lost.

'Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I’ve tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.'

-Robert Frost
