myths of legend come near,
the wizards of the mountain appear,
warn of tides and quakes to come,
not believed by the town of some,
speech of danger to leave this place,
people hurry and begin to race,
thought to have all left the town,
with fear they will all sure drown,
that night the wizards come in,
their bones seen through pale skin,
they eat food and spoil themselves drunk,
but some people hide behind the tree trunk,
surprising the wizards to blame for a lie,
eating their food and leaving them dry,
the wizards just look at these unbelievers that remain,
knowing their death is now certain,
the wizards say nothing and just leave,
because they couldn't make these people believe,
now comes the wash of a tidal wave,
as the wizards watch but cannot save.
