oh as a child i still remembered where i have been before
i watched the mountains grow
could even see the rivers overflow
out of the stately banks of old
but then Ganga was sunken*
great drone had died down
the mount of Gods decayed
how could I lose my memory
how could I lose my knowledge
of the mountains and the trees
of the rivers and the oceans
now sixteen years later
i’m wrapped in a sheet of ice
and all I watch today is a slowly coming tide of slowly burning life
burning too slow
fire too low to explode
and move the continents
now I hear the roar of the machines
sardonic laughter of spectators
the world says, "you are nothing to me, i’m so sorry
now you may die, your life is insured"
