Once in my heart
an idea came
I would jump
from The Eiffel Tower
Freezing in mid air
And shout to God...
Add more time to those lives
Who seek world peace
struggling for prosperity
risking their life...
But my idea changed
hearing the request
of this Eiffel...
' Don’t do this act
oh young man...!
I shall never rest
from the blame
of those people
who took their life
from my heights.'
