Sometimes I dream of a new start
a new world, the earth
without human vices
only divine births
of helpfulness and wisdom
so that those words become obsolete
finally no more auditions
of imaginary comedians
with endless filth
their bundling of centuries
of coercion, humiliation, and abuse
in the joke of The Aristocrats
A world without me
only plants, animals
and avatars as a kind
of people who walk the virtual reality
of the golden means
of Aristotle
