Poor Us In the Lying World

Poor us,
              abandoned by life...
              Poor you,
              blunted by usury...
              Poor us,
              renegades to poverty,
              poor you,
              bored in the salons
              of the nobility...
              Poor us,
              ignorant without culture,
              poor you,
              arrogant of sound reading...
              Poor us,
              conform to "unhappiness"
              poor you,
              disagree with "happiness"
              Poor all  us,
              without deciphering the universe...
              Poor all  us,
              spiritual outcasts...
              poor us,
              poor you,
              poor now, poor
              later... !
