“Oh stupidity
You have been a stone for millions of years.
You have been a thing for millions of years.
Chanting, bell-tolling, singing in front of things
It won't change your status in your society.
Oh stupidity
After eating a fulfilling meal
After eating a fulfilling sweet,
Standing in front of things
It won't change your status in your society.
Oh stupidity
Things won’t speak
Things won’t change your status.
If things have the power to change,
You would have been rational.
Oh stupidity
Nothing can be seen.
Things can’t move.
Things can’t sit.
Things can’t walk
Things can’t listen.
Things can’t move.
Things can’t feel us.
Things can’t love us.
Things can’t change.
Things cannot be loved.
Things can’t bring change.
Things won’t change our status.
It won't change your status in your society.”
