When the Ice Melts

When the ice melts, and the seas have risen, And this earth so freely given, The old story that through time be driven, Comes the decisive blow. When the World's respect diminished, The result corruption tasted, The love for life be wasted, An end for all. So comes the final lesson, Our ears, to, hard of hearing, Our eyes with lack of seeing, Our minds obsessed with gaining, At end the fools. We are only takers, Simplicity the maker, Lifes meaning now confusion, The world in deep delusion, 'What Mercy will be Given', The Final Call!
