I woke up
In World
Where everyone
Was made of glass

Yet and still
We fall to tribes
With walls
No one can pass

Even though
We look alike…
Still find pretext
To #clash

Does sapience
Doom us to
Nitpick
Until we crash?

black blue
the clouds gathering under one sky
a thunderous welcome
for zambians rain

She pretends to be so hard
but her heart is cracked
like the broken concrete
she walks.
Her soul is shredded
she’s dying too quickly inside
One too many times
trading her days for night

Canis Lupus Lupus (European Wolf) Thomas? Herr Doktor Klingmann here, it's right That man should know the nature of his soul Show our wolves to Mr. Knight A rusted blade, in solitude you write City dweller, always in control Thomas? Herr Doktor Klingmann here, tonight Seek what was lost, sense your prey, delight Alert, acute, feel the wind, your goal Show our wolves to Mr. Knight Change is pain, you can't shut out the light Blood inflames your greater part, be whole Thomas? Herr Doktor Klingmann here, burn bright Unser Kini, taste heartbeat in your bite Transform, transition, terrify the night; by God, you'll SHOW OUR WOLVES TO MR. KNIGHT! Should hunting end in fire, pain, and plight Still it was worth the while to light the coal Thomas? Herr Doktor Klingmann here, good night Show our wolves to Mr. Knight - Simon Christiansen
