Arrogance Burns the World

Below, horror rises from my folly. Cities ignite beneath the wheels, fields parch and crack into dust. The rivers vanish in scorching steam, forests blaze into ruin, earth bleeds ashes from wounds inflicted by my own reckless hand. The very air screams of devastation, and now I understand. My own arrogance have set the world aflame! Father, I sought glory, but I've brought ruin. Is this the legacy my ego sought?
