Endings

The waves they break against the shore And all around the water pours. To cleanse again the blood drenched land And wash away the blackened sand. But that’s the way it all must end For this time man has truly sinned. The clown that laughs has cried inside And living men had really died. Now the walls are crashing down, Mother Earth has stained her gown, The Unicorn has lost his life, And mankind seems to have lost their sight. Perhaps when man cries “I have seen!” And Mother Earth’s white gown is clean Perhaps the Unicorn will live again And things will be as they have been. Now the walls are gone at last. The water’s taking over fast. While I upon a clifftop stand Remembering the promised land.
