One

Living begs fulfillment

To stand in the sun

The fate of humanity

In desperate cataclysm

Of unbounded ignorance

And hapless apathy

In secular self-sacrifice

A quasi-religious morality

A God in billions of disguises

Hiding petty souls of anguish

The artist's inspiration

The romantic's infatuation

The beggar's fortune

The soldier's glory

Waiting to die

Making of seriousness

A jocular affair

Turn life inside out

And laugh while crying

The cynic's worm

The final word

My heart is a child's

That refuses to grow up

Unable to understand

The nonsensical fallacy

Of being adult

An native myth

To live with nature

Not to forsake

Its ultimate dictum

Humanity must perish

As we must all die
