Always build a tower
solid and in the middle
make a daily round
along the outposts, you learn
from that, also from the wind
and the farmers, sit down
with the children playing
and listen to what they repeat
from their parents and the neighbours
Occasionally beat the drums
but never dig holes
for the dead of tomorrow
plant flowers every season
around the squares and the cities
as a welcome to the enemy
in your suspicion, and pay attention
because the better you look
the more you see
