Dialectics
Along with the breeze rustled a message:
"The Earth rests on water, floats assuage,
Inundation, the Lord looks down calm"
Like a log it rolls never sinks, but floats,
So believes some orientals superstitious,
The occidental enjoys day light dreams
The peacock came with a strange news,
He dances, tells only the truth we love,
When thunder roars he dances, cries,
And smiles with the lightning, soothes
He says God's existence is an art
A news he brought from far away Greece,
Then a cangle of quarrel errupts
Dialecticl doubts are raised endless,
The idol of Marx glanced at them
'Marx is God', they began to pray,
With folded hands they chanted Marxist hymns,
Again an iconoclast emerged and broke Marx.
"Who saw the Earth afloat?", ask the scientists,
Who saw it flat, who saw it swaying fast,
Not I. The peacock said so dancing.

He dances, tells only the truth we love,
When thunder roars he dances, cries,
And smiles with the lightning, soothes

Who saw it flat, who saw it swaying fast,
Not I. The peacock said so dancing.
