Men were made gods and gods became men
and cats dreamed themselves kings and queens
as dogs gnawed lazily away
at the bones beneath the robes of death
and butterflies flutered from the heart
that beat within her ribs
and life ran like a child learning to fly above the clouds
and the stars made not a sound
and from the silence echos made
music did softly play from roaring waves
that lead the way to mermaids graves
where their skulls did sleep in troubled dreams
were men believed themselves gods
and ruined everything
