Stranger Than A Stranger


The usual day was fine
No one in the forest are to be given a fine
The weather's a bit gloomy but it was fine
At least the beauty of dandelions are very fine
.
So many flowers that I couldn't number
Too many creatures in a size so minute
I can recognize them by their number
Even by just looking at them for a minute
.
In the distance is the vastness of ocean
It shines below the sun as it wave
I saw the fowls above the ocean
They were flapping their wings to wave
.
Everything was at peace
Until I saw a red flag
I was baffled with unease
I knew it was a red flag
.
The scene became stranger
On my land was a stranger
I assume that they're here to cause danger
But is he really here to endanger?
.
His countenance was sound
He proposed a plan that was sound
His argument and logic was sound
But for someone like me, it's just a sound
.
I took out my bow
For he did not bow
Foolish knowledge that at school, they learned
Yet their violence indicates that they're not learned
.
Their pride was foolishness to me
Exploiting my land for their selfish desires
I told them that everything has a limit
But their freedom, they started to limit
.
I moved my hands across the sky
Too many flies on the ground
And too many flies on the sky
I'll save these flies that flies on my ground
.
On the east, I blowed the winds
I made it sound like thunder as it winds
On the west, I shook the land
So no vile being can land
.
I shook the ground across the globe
I called upon the sky to rain
Forty days and forty nights as it rains
All the hills buried under the water
.
My heart ached when I saw the dove
Roaming endlessly to find a rest
A place where it could land its feet
So I beckoned the sky to cease
.
I looked on the east, there is no stranger
I looked on the west, no fowls are present
No sign of life, was stranger than a stranger
But to earth I love, I have a present to present
.
I saw the ark floating above the water
I abated the waters off the earth
I gave an olive leaf to the dove
No more flood, I promised to Noah
.
I will not curse the land again for the sake of man
For his imaginations are evil already from his youth
Neither all flesh be cut by the waters of the flood
And this is my covenant upon all mankind
.
I placed my bow upon the clouds
If it rains, I shall remember my covenant
After it rains, they shall see my covenant
The colors of the bow shall be a sign for them
