Mother of All Evils
Mother of all Evils
You,
Hard-of-hearing,
Dweller of darkness,
Mother of all evils:
Ignorance
You, who are unable
To hear the truth,
Even though it is spoken
Through the mouth of
Thunder,
But who easily discern
The fainting whispers
Of monstrous lies,
Why don’t you open,
For once,
Your detrimental prison
Of calamitous darkness
And let luminous knowledge
Establish its dominion
For humanity's sake?
