Do not hope, for life is cruel.
Because it will betray and disappoint.
Do not build towers of dreams,
For they will only crumble.
Expect politicians to deceive,
And corporations to lie.
Don’t trust in yourself, for you are easily swayed.
Religious leaders extort.
Heroes crash and fall.
And whose side is God on in war?
