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 K.
