A Reply To The North Wind

Belittle us. belittle us now!
Let us fall deeper into this,
Blank, white void,
Take back what is yours,
Destroy all medical achievements,
And throw us into Darwin-ist theory,
Purge this earth,
And build upon the rubble and embers,
Allow the phoenix to rise,
Fly high and proud.
Only out of great destruction,
Can a new life flourish,
Respect restored and renewed,
Death is life,
Life is not a life until;
Concluded in death,
No man is worthy of your love,
Throw him out into the cold,
Lest he take his home for granted;
Back down with the animals,
The mongrel starving,
Scavenging for scraps,
Tail hanging low,
Feeling sorry for oneself,
In a world where no one will know.
Those once stood upon,
Delight in your sullen victory,
Because today you have,
Tools within your grasp.
O Belittle us,
Cast us down,
Reclaim your throne,
Throw out the squatters;
Claim back your home,
In your realm,
All men must learn,
A life to live,
Is something you must earn.
