In their lust
for a truth grasped
only in their minds
they sacrifice life
and become evil.
I do not want
to be a revolutionary.
Or maybe just a quiet one:
doing less than others,
living more simply,
doing without
certain things they say
I must desire
to be fully human.
People do too much anyway.
And the more they try
to fix things
the worse it becomes.
Imagine the consequences
of an ethos of laziness!
Could it possibly be worse
than the path we’ve chosen?
