Short verse
         
         
         More is Less

There is a civil war,
it lies unacknowledged under lies.

In the depths of madness
the sane are lurking terrified.

The dead lie all around, crowded
in a cultivated field of hypocrisy.

How can such a hollow emptiness
         be so full of emptiness  .  .  .

Science is our god, they are its priests,
         I am a heretic and this, heresy.

In the institutions you can't tell the difference
         between the politicals and the insane;
everyone babbles the same refrain:
                   `they are watching.'

The dead will remember the times that they died
         until the day that you kill them.

The Nuremberg Code:
Ten principles, two pages - ultimately more words
                   become less,
         moral and principle cease.
