Set adrift in the brackish seas of time

Vashed by mailing waves

All consumed by confusion and distress

What was once great, now reduced to rubble

Consciousness give way to idleness

Coma-like inaction in the face of destruction

Our cities once great, our culture once noble

Our spirit once alive, our people once proud

Irrevocably scathed by curling flames of modernity

As a lamb wandering in the barren steppe,

We bleat and moan forever in search of forgotten pastures

Barbarity eludes us

passivity imbued deeper than which can be expelled

I weep for the misery which has been sentenced upon us

I curse my ancestors stagnation

I mourn the death of western light

Furious I stand in grey maelstroms of deception and loss!
