A shallow river struggles to run through mountains
But a flood breaks up rocks and dams
Once upon a time there was enough water
Now the only thing left is its widened path
Where it was
And it was
We are the riverbed
Though we struggle to sleep
We cannot be blinded by the sun
As long as the depth stays deep
And it should
Because it could
Eroding together
We are carried away
There’s never enough
To say
We speak
And bleed
Everything
Remains
Tampered
In vain
Weathered
Together
