Zywa Hellstone

The student is curious
As the master he wants to be
he cuts in the deceased
according to the surgical guide

Bodies are interesting
to discover during the holidays
and later, to explain in passing
to the other students

The farmers watch in silence
how man is an animal
a large species of frog
They don't care about science

Oh dear, fresh blood, give me hellstone
Quick, take the bottle from your bag
to disinfect the wound and burn it
away to a large black hole

The district doctor shakes his head
How could Mister student think
he would have money
for such a precious thing as silver!

Zywa Our fathers

If you are a bad child
in the eyes of your parents
they sigh
oh, what shall

become of you?
Others are harder, they scold
you and demand respect
for the authority

of faith and customs
They think you are a nihilist
because they don't understand you
and because you do understand

you cannot argue with them
But you try
to explain -- no matter how nil
the rules are, there is one anyway:

do the others justice
