I wonder if I’ll ever see, <br />That great wheel beneath the sea, <br />That wooden relic of old time, <br />That is to great men, a simple sign. <br /> <br />I wonder if I’ll ever hear, <br />Snobbish voices, cruel cheer, <br />Insolence of the highest degree, <br />Mockery of that divine decree. <br /> <br />I wonder of the human heart, <br />If it’ll ever learn its part, <br />Its wickedness and pride, <br />And that God controls the tide. <br /> <br />I wonder if the great king wondered, <br />How his army was defeated, <br />Generations of kings still wonder, <br />Every time God ends human plunder. <br /> <br />Copyright © Christian Ratnam 2007 <br />ALL RIGHTS RESERVED<br /><br />Christian Eliab Ratnam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/won-t-they-ever-learn-the-red-sea-and-the-fall-of-egypt/
