Son,<\/p>\n
Don’t ask me why I’m clad<\/p>\n
And the rest are bare.<\/p>\n
I have seen two worlds.<\/p>\n
Two life times.<\/p>\n
I saw the sun.<\/p>\n
Humans caressed the sun before it scalded them.<\/p>\n
I cover my body with leaves and reeds<\/p>\n
Because before me a lifetime away<\/p>\n
Men covered their bodies with fabrics.<\/p>\n
You do not know what that means, right?<\/p>\n
I do not remember what ’twas made of.<\/p>\n
A smooth and fluffy body cover,<\/p>\n
So cool and soothing, worn by men and women,<\/p>\n
And humanity lost everything to technology…<\/p>\n
There’s no way to describe it to you.<\/p>\n
Just something that transfered the powers of God to man.<\/p>\n
They drank much of it and dared God!<\/p>\n
Like birds they sailed up to hold meetings in heaven.<\/p>\n
Like spirits they sat on the two sides of the great river and held conversations<\/p>\n
As though they were in the same room.<\/p>\n
Then they began to quarrel,<\/p>\n
They began to fight.<\/p>\n
They brought down the sun and it burnt everything.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
