There was a time
There was a place
Where folks did dream uninterrupted
No adverse cloud flew overhead
There was summer full of peaceful rain
There was time for goodly harvests
And long long periods of such bliss
Then came another time of change
Huge clouds flew constantly overhead
Showering the earth below with deluges of rain
Causing floods and extreme destruction to property
And most of all loss of human life
Cursed be the one who visits such hardship on the poor
Knowing they can hardly make it to safe shores
But gleefully sit on his throne
Massaging his evil ego
He is the bane of that society
Whose only hope is a saviour
A hope worth living for
Such was its intensity that these meek folks
Soon forgot what it was like in other times
All they know is constant fear and utter dismay
Their neighbours simply watch them rut away
Caring nothing for their new plight
In the best of times
They had what was good and shared
In this new times they endure the woes
Flooding their plates on a daily basis
With nobody to share they fair alone
Riding the tide as best as they can
Knowing not when they land
If ever at all
What with all this mayhem around
Can man do to get on with life
Than hope and pray
An escapist line is all they have
Barbed with cruel thorns
To ensure that it hurts hangers on
Who all but try to survive
The crazy twists of living life
As others simply try to push one down
So that they can make it to the top
