Build cities underground.

Untitled #60 / No Homelessness

The would be no homelessness
no poverty, no delusion
if men would but make their homes underground.
Tell me, what is the moral of this story?

Of all the other forgotten Lovers
Who forever cry to one another-
That life was well 'til Love was found!
