What do you seek, My Countrymen? Do you desire that I build for you gorgeus palaces, decorated with words of empty meanings, or Temples roofed with dreams? Or do you command me to destroy what the liars and tyrants have built? Shall I up root with my fingers what the hypocrites and the wicked have implanted? Speak your insane wish!
What is it you would have me do, my countrymen? Shall I purr like the kitten to satisfy you, or roar like the lion to please myself? I have sung for you, but you did not dance; I ahve wept before you, but you did not cry. Shall I sing and weep at the same time?
Your souls are suffering the pangs of hunger and yet thr fruit of knowledge is more plentiful than the stones of valleys.
Your hearts are withering from thirst, and yet the springs of life are streaming about your home - Why do you not dring?
The sea has its ebb and flow, the moons has its fullness and cresents, and the ages have their winter and summer, and all things vary like the shadow of an unborn god moving between Earth and Sun, but truth cannot be changed, nor will it pass away;
Why then do you enfeavor to disfigur its countenance?
