to deny our hearts?
for 3 billion years
we did as we liked
but mammon is our master now
dishonor is our code
so back there some ways
some time
in the last 2 million years
our heads got turned
against our hearts
a little red rift
in the lute
that never heals
but somehow spreads
fanned from kith to kin
nursed by a breath unholy
