The Land Can See
oh god the land can perceive
your full desperation
reigning in your heart to deceive
god the land ably beholds
the cosmetic beauty
your powdered skin beholds
god the land can surely see
this fake beauty in you
even from afar like a tall tree
for with this rain that heavily falls
and the sun that crazily burns
and the wind that deeply blows
they erode your skin powder;
exposing panicky beauty in you
crawling like a startled spider
