The private hard-liner
You must believe me: I do love you,
but what can I do for you,
this society we live in being as it is
with no aknowledgement or recognition,
salary or any notice of hard workers in the field of spiritual creation
like ourselves, and no awareness, only ignorance
of the importance of what we are working for;
so what can I do but continue working hard
for nothing, but the more persistently in obstinate timidity
for beauty, truth and love in poetry and music?
I don't care if this society will crumble in pathetic self-destructiveness,
I will continue spiting it and time and fashion all the same
by just continuing to work constructively
ignored by all the world and time
but for the satisfaction of my soul, if nothing else.
