Build to the Ground


Can’t you look what’s around
Don’t build to the sky, but to the ground
 
 
Your ivory towers shall not last
Their structure is made of glass
You forgot about what happened in the past
Let it crumble and do it fast
 
 
You didn’t account your own humanity
It’s essential for structural longevity
Everything else is only made for brevity
without building from the will to creativity
 
 
Methods like science don’t make a foundation
They inevitably end with falsification
Instead, with this source of consternation
and acknowledge your ability for creation
 
 
I hear that crackling glass sound
Don’t build to the sky, but to the ground
