Snowball Rolling Down A Hill [View all]

Snowball Rolling Down a Hill

The snowball rolling down a hill
got a problem gets to hell,
For as it gains in speed and size
its strength of will’s epitomized,
Forgets that twas a tiny thing
when it began to rampaging;
Down the mountainside it flies
getting meaner as it tries
To add some more to its growing bulk
freezing ice and snow and rock,
Yes men and women in alpine lairs,
trees and fields, goats and bears,
Get impressed into the weight,
nothing in the way escapes
The snowball rolling down a hill
without a worry in this world....
But down below the desert plains
bakes in warming sun’s embrace
and there it finally comes to rest
its thundering noise and danger less,
It learns this lesson very well:
that which to us is fine
is Hell!
To the snowball rolling down a hill....
