The entirety of BobDylan's famous song "Hard Rain" (about [[TheEndIsNigh nuclear armageddon]], [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible if you listen closely enough]]) is made of this trope. For reference, here's the, um, parts of the song where he warns: -->Oh, what did you see, my blue eyed son? -->And what did you see, my darling young one? -->I saw a [[RaisedByWolves newborn baby with wild wolves all around it]] -->I saw a [[NothingIsScarier highway of diamonds with nobody on it]] -->I saw a [[OverdrawnAtTheBloodBank black branch with blood that kept drippin']] -->I saw a [[{{Gorn}} room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin']] -->I saw a [[BladeofGrassCut white ladder all covered with water]] -->I saw [[TheSpeechless ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken]] -->I saw [[FantasyGunControl guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children]] -->And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard -->[[AStormIsComing It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall]]. -->And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? -->And what did you hear, my darling young one? -->I heard [[ThunderboltsAndLightning the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin']] -->I heard [[GiantWallOfWateryDoom the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world]] -->I heard [[MoodMotif one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin']] -->I heard [[CassandraTruth ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin']] -->I heard [[YouBastard one person starve, I heard many people laughin']] -->Heard the [[WarriorPoet song of a poet who died in the gutter]] -->Heard the [[SadClown sound of a clown who cried in the alley]] -->And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard -->And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. -->Oh, who did you meet my blue-eyed son? -->Who did you meet, my darling young one? -->I met a [[MoodDissonance young child beside a dead pony]] -->I met a [[BlackAndWhiteMorality white man who walked a black dog]] -->I met a [[IncendiaryExponent young woman whose body was burning]] -->I met a [[HallmarkSentiment young girl, she gave me a rainbow]] -->I met one man who was [[UnrequitedLove wounded in love]] -->I met another man who was [[OnlyAFleshWound wounded in hatred]] -->And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard -->And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. -->And what'll you do now, my blue-eyed son? -->And what'll you do now my darling young one? -->I'll walk to the depths of [[TheLostWoods the deepest dark forest]] -->Where the [[DyingLikeAnimals people are many and their hands are all empty]] -->Where the [[GaiasLament pellets of poison are flooding their waters]] -->Where the [[GhibliHills home in the valley]] meets [[TheAlcatraz the damp dirty prison]] -->Where the [[HeWhoMustNotBeSeen executioner's face is always well hidden]] -->Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten -->Where [[DarkIsEvil black is the color]], where [[NumerologicalMotif none is the number]]...
