Ancora Harrow International School Hong Kong, De Silva, Anastacia - 13 Muscle into metal Petal into vessel Branded with a red square Stripped down bare Glimmering with gold and all things precious Like flies, restless, restless, restless Bustling nights, relentless lights Filled with city sights Simulated meadows Dancing shadows Eyes narrow For this unkempt barrow Do you see the world, Dim and pearled? Do you see the world Properly unfurled? Lungs still heavy But oh so ready Clean, pure, glass Trying to pass They fall, they tumble But all there is a lowly grumble Iron clad bars Cover us from the stars The mark of the long-worn veil Behind it all we are still grimly pale
