LETHANY OF LEAVES

In the case of fire
Break the glass
In the case of lies
What can you break?

Where did you placed
The memory stick?

In the absence of the person in charge
Please dissolve yourself in anarchy

In the case of an earthquake
Tremble, tremble

Do not run away
Look before you cross the street

The last prayer should contain
The word THE END

In the name of the father
The brother and the sister
The in laws don’t count

Where is the beginning and where is the end
When life is a cycle?

When the politicians say its not true
Don’t you believe them
Because it is true

The newspaper lies
The television lies
The Prime Minister lies
Only the Pope tells the truth
Right?

There is a growth in the economy
That may create a cancer in the future
Invest in self reliance

Develop your own rules
Command your own forces
Distrust anyone else’s advice
