Oh poverty and hell of this world,
why do you embrace our mortal beings?
Oh corruption and politics,
why do you spin your web of secrecy and power around yourselves?
Oh violence and war,
why do you strain our souls?
Oh energies that drain us,
what do you want from me?
Do you wish to bleed me to death so that I may not move,
or do you wish to drown me in your lies?
Or possibly do you scheme to entangle me in your web of nothingness?
Oh energies that exhaust me,
what do you desire from me?
Manifest yourselves to me!
Please do not hide.
for I will try to please even you
who are neglected in this world
Oh energies that exhaust,
exhaust me completely
so that you may not carry your own exhaustion
See energies of war and hatred and all that we call evil,
I do not even mean harm against you.
Exhausting energies rest with me for a while
but I beg you, do not deplete me of myself.
