Last Stand

The raging waters will soon cover this mountain,
My last resting place,
No salvation crashing through the dust clouds
I scream aloud at our own stupidity
Ashamed at my fellowman
Warnings unheeded
Lessons ignored
No last Stand
The debt is finally settled
You who survive must make amends
If you dont do right by God
A price will be paid
And perhaps your children 
Will one day write this same message.
