After a tiresome time at school
With a long stride I walk home
I walk thinking, what went missing
Along the dusty roads I keep thinking
...
Dinosaurs are extinct
Faces are distinct
The world is a strange place to be
Bloody roses are lovely
...
I am desert where nothing grows
Those that i keep if not by heat
Of thirst they die
And the cold night wind blows sand over them
...
