you fool...


how could you not know

it is not the sins of the fathers

you are paying for


but your own?


you are among your own descendants

and the dam you built in olden times

to wall in water to dry the land

and starve this valley...

this valley is the place in which you now live


and no prayer for mercy is heard

in the empty skies above you

as you choke on the dust


and denounce fate...
