Paradise Lost*

Our World in Several Pieces

Civil-ization
Hides behind laws and customs
Forgetting humans

Civil-ization
Morality divorced from
Care and compassion

Civil-ization
No matter if facades crack
We will just build more

Civil-ization
Would murder her own mother
Sun and moon be damned

And the garden perished, scorched
