The Land of ICE

 THE LAND OF ICE

Once upon a time

            It was a warm and sunny clime.

Once upon a time we played games,

            Went to school,

                        Went to work

Without fear and trembling.

Such an innocent time,

            Such an innocent land.

We have forgotten that time,

            We don't recognize that land.

Now an army of strutting trolls

            Parades down our streets.

Now a mob of masked marauders

            Smashes into our homes,

                        Binds our hands,

            Drags us into the street,

                        Throws us into trucks,

            And drives us away into the dark.

Once we thought this gang of thugs

            Only did that to "illegals."

                        We didn't care so much.

            It had nothing to do with us.

But that was long ago.

            It was an innocent time

                        In an innocent land.

Now we are all illegals.

            Now the trolls come for us.

And we tremble with fear when we hear

            The trolls coming near.
