What is the meaning of this plasticity? Why are we
surrounded by such mockery of the truth? Where are the friends who would not
leave and lovers who would not sway? Where are the moments of glory and the
passion for honor? Where are the morals? Where is the sincerity of purpose?
Where is the love for beauty? Where is the love for words? Where
is the passion for language? Where is the lust for adventure?
Rescue me from this insincere world. Rescue me from all
these people who would make a mockery of my sincerity. Rescue me from the
faithless who point and whisper, “God shall never forgive you, sinner!”
Rescue me from this plasticity, this façade, this folly. Take
me instead to winter’s end, take me to where the Sun shines shamelessly on a
river of gold, & where monotony doesn’t tire the soul. Take me instead to
where friends are loyal, lovers passionate and God forgiving.
Take me, instead, to truth.
