When Lust Is Seen Boiling

I think you should know the reason 


I think you should know the reason 
Why all the time oceans roar 
Monsters of greed eat them up inside 
From wounds they are in terrible pain 

Why storms rise and clouds turn red 
And terribly harm the earth 
I think you should know the cause 
When lies are told more and truth less 

And when lust is seen boiling 
Then what is left except to shake
 In anger or in disgust and the word 
Is fatally harmed by an earthquake.
