Bored living in the tombs Those turned to names of cities Where we live and visit until Too many of them are carved on stones Openly standing books Echoing our names on the bills Sent by devil or in Dave's name sometimes Street signs, silent police? Scary if you know they were those Underground names now holding posters Directing you to your tomb home Until a square-meter palace is sold to you These revolutionary thinking reformers Who called themselves gravediggers All names have to be digged out now 'cause They are running short of lands to continue Urbanization. Hear what they say: You could die eternally but this cemetery Can only be used for 70 years, legally Your cinerary caskets will be displayed In sky-high buildings, closer to the heavens Lucky if yours is made of sandalwood Carved and painted as Red Mansion where You could have wonder-ful dreams Your friends and enemies could smell The phosphorous glowing in the wind Feb 17, 2016

Urban Living
Bored living in the tombs Those turned to names of cities Where we live and visit until Too many of them are carved on stones Openly standing books Echoing our names on the bills Sent by devil or in Dave's name sometimes Street signs, silent police? Scary if you know they were those Underground names now holding posters Directing you to your tomb home Until a square-meter palace is sold to you These revolutionary thinking reformers Who called themselves gravediggers All names have to be digged out now 'cause They are running short of lands to continue Urbanization. Hear what they say: You could die eternally but this cemetery Can only be used for 70 years, legally Your cinerary caskets will be displayed In sky-high buildings, closer to the heavens Lucky if yours is made of sandalwood Carved and painted as Red Mansion where You could have wonder-ful dreams Your friends and enemies could smell The phosphorous glowing in the wind Feb 17, 2016
