Pity on the pilgrim's pride
Pity on the homicide
Pity on the salt of someone else's earth
when epiphany hits may you be turned into a radio wave
picked up by the distant receiver
handed down like the myth of creation
sold out of slavery to the freedom of kalashnikovs
pity on the blessed few
pity on the wrecking crew
pity on the settlers' sons
when the next ice age comes may you glow like a nuclear reactor
melt through the surface of the earth
melt through the surface of the earth
be the only source of warmth in the universe
