YOU WHO WATCH

Where have we lost the strength

and the shine?

Where our meaning

and our reason?

Along the banks of desiccated rivers

at the edge of poisoned seas

on the rocks of abused mountains.

On the raped earth

we danced

in search of eternal spring

day and night we danced

like hungry wolves

like mad rats

blind and foolish humans

our own hearts we devoured

our own lungs we burned.

Now along the wheel of the Eternal

we wander.

Moaning endlessly

begging for a second chance.

You who watch

listen to our moans lost in thin air

and remember that we once felt

as powerful

and proud

as you.
