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.
