CIVILISATION
Within my brain no shadow of
Some heavy guilt since birth –
I did not know the fado of
The last man here on earth –
When young I saw the world bright-eyed –
And there were children just like me –
I swam along on every tide
Contented as can be.
In dreams I grimly turned the screw,
Remorse, no, not a shred –
Now I am human, good and true
And live in mortal dread –
Within my brain no shadow of
Some heavy guilt since birth –
I did not know the fado of
The last man here on earth –
When young I saw the world bright-eyed –
And there were children just like me –
I swam along on every tide
Contented as can be.
In dreams I grimly turned the screw,
Remorse, no, not a shred –
Now I am human, good and true
And live in mortal dread –
