An Exhortation To the Lifeless

Wail hard and loud, and shake the walls With grief, sorrow. In festive halls Let laughter spew volcanic rains Of living lava. Let your pains Be proud pronounced for all to hear, And of that which to you is dear, Fight fiercely, with a savage love, Like that of I AM up above Our milky world. Be passion filled In carnal craze, and strong-willed In pleasures sought. Fear no offence! Ignore all treaties. This existence Only thrives when thunders shout, Rivers rend, and suns go out.
