There is a cross Overgrown In a stand of trees Next to the bank Where The Tigress and Euphrates Became a sea Upon this splintering frame Hangs a sign Bleeding from the weight Of the name These nails must bear It marks the gate Where an angel once stood To remind us all What we left behind But there is still life here They welcome you with open hands Grab you by your weary shoulders And usher you inside Sweet melodies fill this place There is dancing And shouting A constant celebration Of what we call Mankind All rejoice the fact That all they need Is at their fingertips Everything to make Everyone feel Identical And here you sit surrounded by These dancing fools In silent awe When into your hands They place a Fruit You peel back the skin And find that This is filled with Color coded Pills Share our food Share our feast We love you Don’t you see? And so teeth sink in Finding home In this forbidden fruit Here in the garden Where The Tigress and Euphrates Overflowed There stand a cross Bearing the name Eden It is the last marking point Showing where humanity Washed away from
