Custard Factory, Birmingham, UK
Set 1
The great leap forward poured down upon us one day
like a mighty storm, suddenly and furiously
blinding our senses
Alone and unaware, the landscape was transformed in
front of our eyes
Like the howling glory of the darkest winds, this
voice was thunderous and the words holy, tangling
their way around our hearts and clutching our
innocent awe
Buildings began to stretch wide across the sky, and
the air filled with a reddish glow
Our happiest days slowly began to turn to dust
Finally, as that blazing sun shone down upon us,
did we know that true enemy was the voice of blind
idolatry; and only then did we begin to think for
ourselves
The sixth extinction crept up slowly, like sunlight
through the shutters, as we looked back in
regret...
