The Immortals

Time and again we spot the rising fumes,

Products of high-pressure life on earth;

All its drunken excess, its misery and dearth,

Bloodstained smoke from countless hearty meals

For those condemned to die; fits of carnal lust;

Hands that murder, make money and pray;

Teeming masses, whipped up by fear and greed,

All emitting a rank, stuffy, warm and acrid dust,

The breath of bliss and rampant lechery;

Devouring their own flesh and spitting it out,

Devising future wars and pleasing forms of art,

Painting the brothel red even as it burns,

Gorging, stuffing, whoring their infantile way

Through the gaudy, tawdry fairground array

That’s born afresh for each of them in turn,

But one day will for each to dust return.
