Better in the Wilderness

The civilized glory and human achievement,

The aspects of life and it's nothingness;

Human prowess and it's goal

The vacuum and it's emptiness.

The state of being alienated

The traumatic loneliness;

Baseless spirituality,

And the sanctimonious holiness.

Their unfounded lessons,

And their glossiness;

The apostles of religion

And their deceitful godliness.

I am better in the wilderness,

Showering in the fountain;

Let me live my life,

Let me chase the mountain.
