As if Earth’s Owners

See them swagger, see how they dare,

As if the greatest, far beyond compare,

Thinking whatever on Earth's all theirs,

That they’re its owners, its royal heirs,

And so can do with it just as they please,

For all time to come, this never to cease.

In this way deluded, what havoc they wreak,

But soon from themselves safety they’ll seek,

For into death’s open arms swiftly they race,

Not knowing they must suffer utter disgrace,

And at their own deeds they will be aghast,

At all the evil they did on Earth in the past.

How they’ll wail, how bitterly they’ll weep

On then being made a bitter harvest to reap

(This reaping all leaving here must perform,

None being an exception to this great norm).

Ah then how they’ll howl and claim to regret,

But the decree must prevail once it’s been set.

The Lord of all watches, the Great All-Seeing,

Letting them do as they like for the time being,

But when He ordains for their stay here to end,

Ah with what all they’ll then have to contend!
