Alone stands modern man,          product of products for

Hair, skin, white-teeth, tan;         ethos came shop bought and canned.

Artificed for ease of use                 synthetic fibres force away

Weather’s organic abuse,             like a magnet repellent to life.

What hides amid the darkness,

absent of the sunlight,

The sky goddess shed tears for the earth god
