In a World With No History

would I were in a lifeless world
     in which I had no ancestors
          in which there was no mark of man
     which was blank with no sectors

I see history as enemy
     as brutal face of man it shows
          the bloodshed, heads with no bodies
     heirless corpses under rainbows!

in which I was bound to nothing
     a world without a single grave
          a world in which wealth was unknown
     in which there was no lord, no slave

where goddesses weren't worshipped
     with nude idols by lustful eyes
          in which I were the first subject
     the first person to see sunrise
