The tide rises up the sand
And it falls back
It seems as if it's unmanned
Counterattack
The tide is inching up now
Then slides away
It climbs up the sand somehow
Never at stay
You see just the constant motion
Never at a rest
The clock of the open ocean
The pull then the crest
It looks the same, yet different
The push the the pull
The flat line of the gradient
A part of the whole
Years later, the water's now higher
Near the steps of your house
Yet you think the sand must be drier
Nothing is under dowse
You a small wall up infront the place
So the tide never hits
Right now, everything's at little haste
Danger, it's at a quits
Later you notice the house is flooding
The tide rolls up and down there
Because the wall could stop only nothing
The house is just sea and air
You think it is smart to move up the hill
"Though the tide climbs, it will fall"
"The tide will not stay up, but the house will"
"When it rises, it will crawl"
Later you here the spinning of the cycle
The water is always around
Now you know it ill never be idle
It goes up, but does it come down?
You think it can be fixed, something you can do
But two homes are there down under
So you blame society, partially true
But it was also your blunder
Finally, at last, you say you can fix it all
But you took too long, it is too late
Because the ocean is rising with little fall
That’s why you hate the one who is late
Because only the mountain is left standing dry
All life is certainly out of whack
You must recede to the only place that is high
The tide rises up the sand and doesn't fall back
