In That Time

Many told of the time coming,

But the king and queens of money and power

Ignored the words of the prophets

For many years until the warming came.

In that time the winds became angry

And they confused the air.

There was a great migration of many creatures,

They fled the waters,

They chased the ice.

The waters rose up in violence

The ice ran from the things of man.

The great bears lay down forever

And the ants burned across the earth.

Death snaked across the seas

It walked across the land.

It visited many peoples

The leaders rose to meet it

After it had already gone by.

They rung their hands and gnashed their teeth.

They lay down in its tracks and perished.
