"We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, with so little, for so long, we are now qualified to do anything, with nothing" By Konstantin Josef Jireček, a Czech historian, diplomat and slavist.

Wise-lust

By Riak Marial Riak

Reverence you said bring wisdom,

not concentration you givest in the learning

Impalpable we sayest you wisdom,

Manie ere long see you dispearing in kingdoms like

morning snow

Accross-bends of Nile,

You flow over the waters,

you whispered, we run for you and didst find you

Knelt I by the stream to honour you,

some there wait to receive you by the stream,

I found not you but wickedness,

I found not you but tasteless roots to chase there

wisdom they sayest you are in reverence

More than years you livest,

by the streams you livest,

we fetch and found you there sweet love

Angular-bungalows we bend our ears,

in respect of you we bended,

in respect of you we folded our hands

sayest come we chant knowing

Rivers-bank glee married I,

I fooled I that by pleasures you’re found

but you swept your compound in reverence

you knowing!

Ignorant do we praise-not mind do we give for you,

laziness do we sing you in the churches,

greed took side by side in palaces

Augmenting none does you love

words I nailed and we sayest fine–

righteous words do we sayest and decline

Love not your mind when it oppose,

when it appease for sturdy lies throw it a dust

Remembrance at last supplements,

by the stream when waited it compliments

that’s why they cried in search of you–

in your mercy shalt them rush in you

Iffy also tortured, in the rooftops you disappeared,

in black houses we appear red in you

we searched but none a wind do we find

At the sets of more sun old men chant for you,

wisest men serve a fire to think for you

still in youths they didst found you

you in your cave they didst found you–

Kings livest by you

their wise ones nurse them to keep firm their kingdoms

I wished there in palaces you’re found

I should have want for you to feed.
