A Hell on the Earth
A Hell on the Earth
Words that convey no understanding,
Remedies that offer no cure from disease,
Knowledge that is divorced from humanism,
Make the horrible Hell a bewitching domicile.
Beauty that promotes promiscuity,
Technology that kills the soul of wit,
Piety that kindles superstition,
Make the horrible Hell a bewitching domicile.
Religion that aids pogroms,
Power that snuffs out freedom and service,
Authority that flows from stupidity,
Make the horrible Hell a bewitching domicile.
