Sand

From the enemy's insidious attacks
Fatal lodgment the destroyer has made
Desolate ravages deprived of life
Will speedily go to decay

LAID LOW all your hopes and dreams
DESTROYED all your plans
CUT SHORT by the lies and schemes
WATCH THEM slip through your fingers like

Infestation of all-devouring worms
The plague that is reigning within
Knotting, twisting and writhing in turns
Loathsome convolution spin

Preyed upon by such a deadly enemy
Devoured by ravenous swarms
The youthful vigor and energy
Of filthy flies and worms
