Beyond reality
Our world is another better world,
a world and age of timelessness and beauty
far removed from this world of indecency
of vulgar greed and base voracity,
where beauty and idealism seem in exile
doomed to languish, starve and stifle
in an age of narrow-minded automatic inhumanity,
while we were made for love and inspiration,
human dignity and the appreciation of humanity,
since being human is the only decent standard,
which got lost in the last century
when fools rushed in to rape and devastate
a world of order and romantic aestheticism
to trample it under the armies of dictators.
We have nothing more to do with them,
nothing in common and no business with their devastation
but stick faithfully and closely to that world of beauty
which was painfully neglected and forgotten and abused
by those who violated it and ruined it.
Our realm of timelessness is beyond their mortality and vanity,
and when at last they will wake up from mortal folly,
they will find us there to welcome them back home.
