The obsession for pushing bounds
Hands clasped around the future
in a tug of war
Drips with the sweat of escapism
desperation and fear
From the layers
of crumbling cement
Created empty human vessels of greed
so inhuman and powerful
ugly and destructive
we watched the world
plunge into hell

out the window webbed with scratches
behind the net of dust
the earth fell away into the dark
