Zywa Old wisdom

It's over, foreign interests
rearrange everyday life
and clear old wisdom

The children adapt
They don't lift a finger
at the dust and the leaks

They shrug their shoulders
about the salty sea breeze
and don't see the bugs

They are amazed
when the door is open
and the aisles are full

of trampled papers
as fuel for a bonfire
at the Sun Gate

They have not the faintest idea
what was of value
to the thieves
