*

Like the smoke that rises from burning tyres,
The darkness in the souls of men is thickening.
The souls of men are up for sale
For how many pieces of gold and silver
Will you betray your brother?

The upright judges have given their verdicts:
They say that an elephant has seven legs
They say that the sun sometimes shines at night
The souls of men are up for sale
For how many pieces of gold and silver
Will you sell your conscience?

The bell of justice can no longer find its pendulum
Neither can the trees of truth stand
Without bending to the wind of greed
The souls of men are up for sale
Would you sells your conscience
Or invest it into the stock of truth and justice?

    Very good. Most amateur poetry is painful to read. This was quite impressive!
