Water to ice as snow
Snow to glaciers
O Lord! You made these
As peaks
Of your benevolence
You called in the sun,
Melted them to run down
To plateaus and plains
To provide life water
To all we beings;
We took as much we wished
As much we could take
The rest you let go down
Into oceans you made
How much water flown in?
Into the seas ages since
Oceans remain unmoved
Indifferent them you made?
You made icebergs; yes,
As peaks of your belligerence!
You sunk men’s titanic builds
You called in not, the sun!
We know not how many sharks
You have blown off down the waves
That combated your icebergs
You built upon your grace!
We know not why you hesitate
To raise icebergs on these shores
To annihilate those sharks
Underworld, you continue to create!
