So content was I in UV showers
On a desert ripe from salt
Neon smiles and shrouds of fertility
Then it all froze to a halt
I saw hail from clouds eons away
Yet drunk was I from sin galore
So drunk I was deaf to his supreme edict
Till He was crunching down my door
First came denial, then came dread
Knowledge was the first to go
Then kindness, then empathy and finally logic
Oh wait, they were already on Skid Row
He gave me safe passage to El Dorado
For not so hefty a price
Seven euphorias now shape reality
But everything else is a vice
Before the numbers were used for counting
And the air made fresh by trees
Now reality is run by cyberspace
And the outside made of fantasies
Looking back I remember that wish
To pause and think with sight so clear
And so He indulged my ignorance
Now all I see… vivid fear
