Mortals, illborn wretches

7 2 2
                                    


Grapping, clutching, prying

All mortal hands

Are this way

They see what threads the silks

And they grope

Not only grope, tear, rend, kill

And they will say they did not mean for this

Say that they wish for the world to be how it once was

The ones who broke it being so selfish as to demand a better place to live,

When they broke it.
