Читать книгу After Eden - Harold J. Recinos - Страница 24

in the tower made of books

surrounded by planted trees,

beautiful flowers, and seeded

grass, separated from barbarous

clashing on the streets, scholars

are busy measuring what God

says on pages kept on shelves

away from the poverty giving misery

a home on earth. here on this corner

where indifference habitually makes

its bed frail dark bodies crying from

afar are rarely asked to give witness.

on the streets where hands are joined

by the poor dressed with bells like lepers,

there will be no rest until the bitter wells

are sealed tight and the high-minded blather

is thrown into fiery depths!
