I have a new culture
Come out at night and behold
The vast silhouette of structures
My city..City!..Only a hole

Candle-making is an art
Which goes perfectly in line
Yes, a vital and important part
Of this new culture of mine

Did you ever sweat at night "sire"?
Or roast by noon in the bus?
Here, the straw still makes a fan
As constant power is a curse
