Webs of Life

Entangled in the web of vices,
the envious persons,
plot and deceive.
The victim loses the honour.
Bees eaten alive by mantids
are unaware of their own fate.
Greedy, thugs, buried
under a heap of gold coins:
they’re boastful
without treasures,
a bunch of nobodies on earth.
Follow the “Faun!”
researcher of ecstatic visions,
you’ll drown in the lake
of pleasures.
Unwary explorers,
seduced by narcotics
sniff from the censer
hypnotic essences.
Desolating deterioration
brains that wither.
In the desire to annihilate
the whole world:
visceral hatred
between living beings.
Dangerous overtaking
to get first,
to the finish line,
viscous spider’s web,
deadly trap envelops us.
The diabolical spider
has just eaten the meal:
it starts weaving the new web.
