Fire and Ice

Aside from The Road Not Taken, another good poem from Robert Frost is Fire and Ice.

Fire and Ice
by Robert Frost

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.

It mentions two causes of destruction - fire and ice. It means the world may perish in war, with all the bombings and conflicts. And it may also end in coldness when there is no longer love in the heart of humanity. When the heart becomes frigid, it will be death for the whole world.

With storms plaguing the Philippines, still, they won't destroy us. But it is only true if there are still people who will lend a helping hand. With hearts full of benevolence, life will continue.
