Listen closely, and I will tell you

the story my grandfather gave me

when I was young

There was a time when Man was only a man

an insignificant hunter

not a parasite

there were no buildings

Just trees

and just caves

the sky was grey

or silver

shining beyond what we know now

Man had upset Helios

Lord of the sky

keeper of the sun

and to punish Man,

Helios convinced his brothers

to help

His brothers were beautiful

they kept the wind

Lords of the sky as well

they washed away our silver

but kept the gold stars

knowing they must not upset the others

The sky was blue,

but

Man was still happy

They liked the colors

they liked the blue

Helios punished them differently

But

the sky is still blue

and now you know why

Look! a rat!

they are still scared of our blue sky

they remember when it was grey
