The cemetery under the bed
The cemetery under the bed opens at the first request
Once upon a time in childhood we were taught to make little men from matches
Today we are taught to burn

Someday the future will come, but not now
Today we are taught the word "later"

Who among us has not fallen in love
with a young Justin Bieber in his youth?
Icons with saints and a poster with pop stars are torn off the walls of a collapsed house
