Analysis of Perpetual War
It is a fact
I think very often dirty
That nasty, ugly thoughts
Inflame in the Self
Ideas are dropping
Bombs on the entity
Flames rise
And then burn the body
I take all the imaginations
With the modest values
I chase
And try to kill
The devil inside me,
I am
In the state of perpetual war.
