Armageddon and Chamomile

On green lawn in flowering garden
Lived one Chamomile, meek and careless.
She grew quietly in complete peace,
Not knowing about harsh world reigning around.

But the day came when Armageddon appeared
With formidable face and fiery breath.
He swept through all forests and lands,
Leaving behind grief, destruction and ashes.

Chamomile was frightened and trembled,
Seeing catastrophic devastation and chaos.
She was looking for salvation and shelter,
Not knowing how to survive terrible ordeal.

Armageddon saw Chamomile and stopped,
Surprised by her purity and innocence.
He approached her and looked with interest.
Chamomile stopped being afraid and trembling.

"Chamomile, what are you doing here?"
"I just looking for safe place."

Armageddon touched Chamomile,
And suddenly his face changed.
He became merciful and wise old man,
He discovered true purpose of his power.

"Chamomile, thanks to you I reconsidered my plans for life
I no longer want to destroy all life on earth, I will create!"

Chamomile realized how big her role in universe,
She became symbol of peace and rebirth,
And also voice of hope and love for all people,
Capable of changing course of history.

Although I have never encountered such cases.
But I was asked to describe such story,
They promised so huge fee that I could not resist,
Sorry.
