Ragnarok

I sometimes think that the oil is good.
For what if it all comes up in a flood.
It rushes in on every shore.
And life in the sea will be no more.

Then if you light a fire. 
It will spread with the wind.
To beaches and fjords.
Like our greatest sin.

It is better to use it for a fellow cause.
In oil wells and oil fields. Powering us.
So that nature has time to swallow it up.
Before ragnarok happens. And we all will be lost.
