Her sunflower bloomed
In sunset sky of twilight.
Her aura shone bright,
Painted with vibrant shades of

Upon which my life is hanging

That sad decaying corpse 
Of western civilisation 
In the final throes

a sapling withers and dies
shielded from the sun
sheltered from the wicked world
she swings from a makeshift noose...
