If you forget this village you have ignored
Why in the first place it was built upon the earth
Ask yourself of your two eyes what it is that they wish to cover up
Of a house and the collapse of its roof before it happened
Who was it sheltered there was it the big black tear that nothing matters
Or was it water thin the tear down a face accepting that nothing happens
For instance the ghost of a village even with a
Gun to its head what you are shooting is a child standing there
Free killings and drawings in the dust
No wonder this village was built out
Of dust and built upon the earth
