Fishes Of The Sea Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

A long, long time ago the word
came to a man of God
a warning of what was to come
to nations deeply flawed

'Blood toucheth blood, ' is what was seen
back in those ancient days
and time would come when beasts and fowls
would slowly waste away

A mourning and a day of grief
a prophecy unveiled
would surely fall upon the land
where truth and mercy failed

A warning of a time to come
when birds fall from the skies
and creatures of the field die off
and people cheat and lie

A long, long time ago the word
came to a man of God
a warning of what was to come
to nations deeply flawed.
