WAKE UP CALL: A Pseudo-Sermon & Some Barbed Backlash

	Hey –
	aren't you tired of mediocrity
	& little bullshit lies?

	When are you going to wake up
	& stop pretending to be a victim
	of some ancient crime?

	Are you ever going to be
	part of a solution
	instead of a symptom
	of spiritual decay?

	Such things have said
	many times before

	Do most people need disasters
	to heed what has been said?


Will:    (shaking his head) I can't stand it when poems become sermons!

Wan-Sze: (nodding) Why did the author let this happen?

Nadia:   Hey, isn't the purpose of poetry to offer people candied crap?

Kasim:   Of course not!
