The Four Evils

After striving in vain to make peace with one's enemies

The only things is to forebear

For enemies are Love, Hate, Greed and Temptation

They transubstantiate all.

Love is a loser of charms,

Its delight is warmth not lasting.

Earthly love will only dream

For earthly love will be destroyed in death.

Hate is a murderess

Willing to drug and kill

Singing the praise of a warranted crime

For crime will find a friend in hate.

Greed and Temptation are all in one

Painful in their distraction

An ironic sin of our age

Dragging senseless, helpless and insane.
