Forsooth

They will wait, well disposed, for others to remedy evil, that they may no longer have have it to regret. - Thoreau

my soul stands accused and stoned in a wicked, burning world

a world that no longer makes sense

its people tell me that up is down and down is up

as they bathe in the pursuit of deceptive, tangible wealth

spitting on lies, making mud and telling me it's truth

selfish and uncouth

unknowingly and indignantly forsooth

they turn wine into water, corking it to gain more profit

i wish they would get the hell off it

Author's Note

'There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve." - Thoreau
