[5:12]



In the wordless chamber 

they feared Death 

desperately. 

Thus they clustered 

to the fruits of the Earth. 

Craving diversion, 

as if to avoid knowing why. 



In the wordless chamber 

they feared life 

desperately. 

Thus they proclaimed 

any given truth 

and swallowed, 

as if to justify their fear. 



He knew that there had been hordes of seers

before him who set out to cure. 

Though, the sick wished not to part with their decease, 

as if it made them feel alive. 



In the wordless chamber 

he accepted desperation 

and the unpredictable manifestations 

of hope.
