Noah
Rain has fallen in deluge
Flooding is the bane of low lands
I would build on a platform to float
And nare be without a boat
My dwelling anchored firmly
Watch houses being swept by
The water recedes and we descend
To settle down in the vista of mud
Surrounded by devastation
Alone in a watery wilderness
Like Noah I have created a legend
Feeling guilty in the triumph of Hubris
I lower the boat and sally forth
There may be some survivors.
Flooding is the bane of low lands
I would build on a platform to float
And nare be without a boat
My dwelling anchored firmly
Watch houses being swept by
The water recedes and we descend
To settle down in the vista of mud
Surrounded by devastation
Alone in a watery wilderness
Like Noah I have created a legend
Feeling guilty in the triumph of Hubris
I lower the boat and sally forth
There may be some survivors.
