This place will not be call home forever

The depressed man chose death because he

was angry with life

But we will make our anger into a hot fume,

one that propels

Hot fumes which will one day propel us

Into a little river that will join the sea in a

country faraway

Lands we have travelled only in our minds

We know this is one of the tools

Like invisible thread sewing up the future

And the future will become a country, an

imperfect city

Hand sewed, we have never dreamt of

perfection

Just a land of men, anger, imperfection and

gold

Because our anger is a tool

Like the invisible thread sewing up the

future

Then our bones and flesh will melt again,

now forming

A big river which will join the ocean in a

country faraway

A land of men, anger, imperfection and

diamond

This place will not be call home forever
