End ICE


I don't want to melt ice I just want to get rid of it because I will not drown in it I refuse to let it smother me I refuse to let us plunge in that fridgid water I refuse to let us open up pandoras box I will not be swept away by ice I will not let ice sweep a precious baby into sharks and glaciers I will not be shoved in death when I have a warrant to be alive I cannot let them dictate my deathbed End Ice Get rid of Ice Swiftly and quickly like they are doing now to our lives Futures torn because when ice melts it rains it cries it destroys as long as it can reshape ICE will take lives So I will not melt ice
