By Seth Nicholls
As people try to douse the flames
Smoke runs tripping over itself out of the doors and windows
Ten thousand screams ring out, and the hundred more Ink is singed from parchment and scattered to the night
In the terrible feasting arson of Alexandria.
So much knowledge made unknown
So many tales made untold
Burned away, that sacred soul
Soul of a Library in Alexandria
And all across the world
A thousand libraries take their turn
A thousand tales are made untold
Like the lullabies of Alexandria
A thousand lessons
A thousand poems
A thousand more Burning
Goes that foul arson of Alexandria sweeping across the world
