The Rising Tide

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: CORONAVIRUS SERIES



The Rising Tide

Where are they now
Those fools and make believers
Who said it was all a spoof
Invented by deceivers

Standing before a rising tide
They instructed us to sleep
They told us not to worry
It never gets this deep

Now we’re drowning in the waters
The cliffs are at our backs
And where are you the criers
Telling us to blame the blacks

We don’t believe you anymore
You’ve lied to us too long
Believing has cost too much
We’ve soured on your song

So go away and hide yourselves
We won’t follow you again
And if you show your face round here
The days of vengeance will begin
