How the Wither
We teach doubt
And worry about the dying belief
While we mock the most devout
Unknowingly feigning our relief
And soon the establishments strong and stout
Shed their every flower and leaf
As thirsty eyes begin to scout
For the ethics of life that were once chief
It's the wisdom of human cultures
To weigh one's words and deeds
For the modern freedom is for weird mixtures
Compromising the purity of ethics and creeds
So don't go around sampling textures
Heats, noises and speeds
Take discipline that holds up lasting structures
And shine the light that the future pleads
