It weakens your soul
and eats your passion.
This materiality
will get you a golden grave.
It will buy your desire,
it will rob your aspirations
and set you on a mission
to count money
made of uncountable stars.
The roof above you,
the spacious walls that surround you,
the passion that you speak to the world
will become a town idol that
cannot even shed its tears
to express the language of its heart.
