:Might man yet learn his neck to bend?Ha! Behold how that noble race,Doth year by year its birthright rend,Its promised lands fast lay to waste.
:Hearts grown cold, brothers brothers spurn,The rich grow fat, while poor grow thin.Some hoard bread, others can but yearn,Then rise, en masse, to slay their kin!
:Taste ye now my missive's fruits,Feed on them, o heartless brutes!This world you've bit with cruel-tipped fangsYour dark crime's venom now through it seeps.Above, gods' wrath in wild clouds hangsA cleansing storm soon to unleash!

:Man – A Riddle Stuck in Sleep
:A grub, enwrapped in spittle,Beneath the tumult of raging skies,Waits and grows, little by little,Till – at last! – a bright ray it spies,Spreads new wings, and away it flies!
:May this thought with man endure!May we ever in heart recallThis merry creature, winged and pure,And how it started, so strange, so small!Whoever seeks from flesh a cure,To skies above doth plead and call,May in this soul our tale hope stir!
