Seest Thou Not- Seest thou not that my house lay in ruins. Noble thou art not, but reckless in abandon. Touch the lepper, clothe the begger, restore the ruins, restore them for me. Seest thou not that my house lay in ruins. Mighty thou art not but selfless in action. Shed your possessions, shun vain ambition, restore the ruins, restore them for me. Return to nature, atone all of creation, restore the ruins, restore them for me. Small and insignificant people can exact the greatest and most significant change.
