Altitude

Dreamt centuries in advance

The infallible grid of mankind burns

Through the endless depth of night

Above the smog of The breathe

of the human race

The deafening sound of greed

Complications of simplicity

An intricate glow of design

The length of our land

Glitters in the darkness

As boastful clouds burst

With electricity from below

Releasing with tension

That cannot be contained.

The whole world sleeps.
