The Hills And The Plains

The hill's that roll,
far beyond these dry, hot plains,
offer refuge and safety
for the ones who have been maimed.
The plains have rocks, and dust and wind
and curse the ones that they know have sinned.
But, the hill's that roll protect them from
what the plains have shown us yet,
And the hill's that roll show us something great,
when the sun begins to set.
We look for the hill's, but the plains stretch for miles.
And all we get in return is the plain's wicked smiles.
