LET'S NOT LIVE IN A HAVEN OF REGRETTABLE HALLUCINATION!

LET’S NOT LIVE IN A HAVEN OF REGRETTABLE HALLUCINATION!

How steady and durable is the colour of the ugly falsehood,

How long can be suppressed and suffocated the Truth,

How long can endure the blind reign of the Untruth,

How long can the innocent lambs be executed by the Crude?

How long can the cunning and sly Casca’s impious conspiracy,

Pervert the credulous mind of the perfidious and disloyal Brutus?

How long can prevail the impure, immoral and Satanic intimacy,

How long can Veracity be hanged illegally on the treacherous Cross?

How long can the wheels of sham and pseudo solidarity,

Move along on the feeble and infirm paper axel of Unreality?

How long can the eclipse of Manthara’s fabrication,

Cover and conceal the ever shining face of the Integrity Sun?

Let’s thus ever tread on the path of self rectification,

Let’s thus ponder over our soiled thoughts’ purification,

Let’s not live in a haven of regrettable hallucination,

Lest we should miss the sure flight, forever, for Salvation!
