To whom it may concern:

Provided, you are alive by then
and unfolding this paper,
raise your voice, and if you plead
ignorance, speak out, that it were us,
who betrayed and sold your planet.

Provided, you are wise by then
and unfolding this paper,
raise your voice, and if you plead for
the dead, speak out, that it were us,
who stuffed our souls with nuggets.

Provided, you are students by then
and unfolding this paper,
raise your voice, and if you plead for
knowledge, speak out, that it is you,
who have to be taught this lesson.

Provided, You are God by then
and unfolding this paper,
raise Your voice, and if You plead
guilty, speak out, that it is up to
You to live for the living.

Provided, you are praying by then
and unfolding this paper,
raise your voice, and if you plead for
freedom, speak up and pray:
Save our love and protect the artists.

Provided, you're an artist by then
and unfolding this paper,
raise your voice, and if you plead for
art, speak up and ...
... let me know, where to meet...
