Literature

Of the street,

By the street,

For the street,

Literature

Spirit to come down

Settle, sedimentary,

Sublime…

Metamorphosed breed

Of language

To purify the ashes

Of Knowledge

Lying dormant.

Be active, awake, bold…

Literature, a spirit

Is not cold.

A warmth of man

A heart of truth

A passion, a rebel

To time.
