One Land Alone

In an age of the world, that was much like our own The seeds of indifference, were rampantly sown Compassion forgotten and equality unknown The bounty of Earth was for one land alone A land with such power, it bent to it's will The tired, the hungry, the weak, and the ill With a thirst so unyielding, It could never lye still Though it's cup never empty,could never be filled It spread like an inferno. yet raged like the sea protesters were bloodied so most chose to flee While begging for mercy, that was not to be From a glutinous people who chose not to see These people stood idle, did nothing to stop Their king's hands were scarlet, But they each held a drop For the ways of the righteous they would not adopt They watched the world sinking, but they were on top Soon there was nothing, no time to atone The world was returned, to the ages of stone And all that was learned, would never be known A world turned to ruin, for one land alone
