It Braves the Wrath!

by David Baresch

It holds fast, it braves the wrath
Of solar bursts that burn with surge.

It holds fast, it braves the wrath
Of mountainous flares that rage and swirl.

It holds fast, it braves the wrath
That blistering raze of starlight blaze.

It holds fast, it braves the wrath
Against that smite of UV light.

It holds fast, it braves the wrath
Against the wreak, the arid, the bleak.

It holds fast, it braves the wrath
Of scorching dearth to torch the Earth.

It holds fast, it braves the wrath!
It holds fast, it braves the wrath!
It holds fast, it braves the wrath!
Its name?
The Ozone Layer!
