Hymns

by Januário Esteves

The footprints you leave in the world
The whole you build and make
Will be turned green
Your home your path
Your childhood hiding place 
Everything will be covered in green
Stone cemeteries
The train railway lines
Everything will be covered in green
The epic steel buildings
The tallest skyscrapers
Their destiny is set
For nature maintains design
Always clean the inorganic
Name the flower after the world.
