Unless They Repent
-the ways of some humans
-are full of evil
-but unless they repent
-but if they refuse;
-i will let them reign
-like a lost king
-in the draught of rain
-i will take away
-their peace
-sickness shall eat up
-their common dreams
-like a turn scroll
-of ancient
-all they so much hate
-shall wash their wicked
-evil faces
-every dark side of life
-shall visit them
-like a friend
-on a daily basis to share
-love together
-until they repent
-from their evil ways
