come away from the city grime,

all you populating, copulating beings,

thoughtlessly spread in lumps,

getting used to crowds and mess

come to a home built just for you,

away from collective self-destructive

things, trees cleared for a paid

view of the endangered hills

come, we have found new

ground, a green haven,

earth choked, tar roads

a-paving, come, spread your

dark raven wings here,

empty thy pockets, thy minds,

come, live in a well-made cage,

pledge your life to bank loans,

come, be the sacrificial goats,

our daggers are forever ready,

come, fill this part of dirt

come,

be eco-friendly
