Before my death I have this to say: Man's riches gather When he exploits, extorts And neglects the suffering. Vision for the self Is lubricant for vices; Vices accomplices of evil Whose abundance Pullulate profane power, As symbols of frailties And spirituality of vanities. Only looters and murderers-- Be they prisoners or free men Enjoy the cannister of Collective carnage And hope in the boom Of projects that import Selfish survival, or sectional F u f i l l m e n t. Power and impuissance; Oppulence and poverty; Wisdom and nitwisdom; Matyrdom and heroism; Holliness and unrighteousness; Weigh worse than perfidy, If unaccompanied by kindness! "KINDESS ALONE SHALL SAVE THE WORLD IN THE END!" « return. |
