They dig the wells deeper on this side of town.

Only heavy ground keeps floating bodies down.

Children play in the graveyards and cry in churches,

And conniving people are turned into torches.

They burn flags in secret on this side of town.

Heavy burdens quickly turn into iron crowns.

Adults swim in circles like tortured fishes,

Waiting on a genie with one hundred wishes.
