ICE - 2017

ICE falls all over the land
sprinkled by a childish man
freezing people
while the forests burn
and the world turns without us

They hope the ICE will whiten everything
covering all the brown dirt and stopping time
while somehow not freezing their hearts cold
and hoping the truth goes untold

But anyone who knows ICE knows it numbs you
so that when the end comes
it feels like a sweet sleep
instead of dark death

And unless we return to warmth
the burning forests will melt the ice
and drown us all
