The evidence of a walled city Lingers, to build it requires Conviction

A walled city sets itself in Permanence, a testament to Endurance, longevity and gain

Yielding motion it fixes gift For a world mad mob

Low stock means famine The fruits of attrition

Bartering goods and facilitating Exchange before it is complete, But before completeness it has To take stock

When the city is going to be Destroyed eat bread from grain Scraped from the bottom of each Barrel

To make this bread the mixture Should be taken together and Cooked slowly over a dung fire
