The Politics of Dearth

The cruelties and the obstacles of this swiftly changing planet will not yield
Again and again, timorous and trembling ones came to me and said, with earnestness,
Satan stands ready to fall upon them and seize them as his own.
The individual is but an atom; he is born, he acts, he dies,
We must be mad, literally mad,
Allow them dignity in death.
To those — to those who would tear the world down: We will defeat you.
