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.
