Under roof of forgotten promise,
Where hands still share fingerprints,
An old shaman whisper, ruin;
Alas the children listen, children listen,
The old bring promise, the old bring hope;
Benighted sky in the maladroit heart,
You made it so: can you undo whispering now?
Standing on your tower, billions scream your vow.
