soar across the leaden sky
show us all your fearsome beauty
ornery creature, capricious fire-breather
we bring you offerings and do our duty
do not atomize our city
spare us, we pray
have mercy, show pity
we come in silence
no garrulous chatter
name your price
it is no matter
let our crops stand
let our children play
we will feed you cows,
how many do you want today?
Lady Satellite
