There are rots
Cradling our cots
Killing our lot
Having us bought
II
There are filth
Even in quilts
Causing us to wilt
Amidst all spilt
III
What dies today?
Breaths are taken
The world is shaken
Most are awake
And can change bake
But what dies from our rots?
What dies from our filth?
What dies from our ills today
To feed fat our lean progress?
Which monster within do I aim to kill
To pay progress’ bill?
