A Yorkshire Poet Poet Dramatic Verse

The Waves Rose Out of the Sands

We never really saw it coming when the 
waves rose out of the sands.
Deaf to the sounds of walls of water on 
moving quickly on unsteady ground.

We never really saw it coming when the 
thunder cracked the ground.
The holes and voids of darkness grew all 
over our scarred lands.

We never really saw it coming when our 
leaders chose to hate.
The people’s of our nation despised by 
the elite because we earned a lower rate.

We never really saw it coming when our 
country started to die.
The people treated like they just don’t 
matter and never told the reasons why.

We never really saw it coming that your 
children would pay the price. We screwed 
all the good things that we had to give them 
an horizon full of hate, deceit and lies.
