For the villainy of the world is great, and a man has to run his legs off to keep them from being stolen out fom underneath him.

Villainy

Villainy, vain, ill, van, nay, in, an, vial, nail, ail, lay;
Tones of love and tones of peace!
But, i am here to respect your muse.

I will to my dying day oppose, with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all such instruments of slavery on the one hand and villainy on the other as this Writ of Assistance is.

We weren't wealthy but we definitely weren't poor. We were incredibly rich because there was a wonderful community in Shepherd's Bush, where I grew up. All my friends were into villainy and crime.

I think it's too easy often to find a villain out of the headlines and to then repeat that villainy again and again and again. You know, traditionally, America has always looked to scapegoat someone as the boogie man.

Roasted On The Fire

In the middle of the road,
The birds of the air flew above me with a signal;
But you wre nowhere to be found.

Blemish,
Unleavened,
Must only be roasted on the fire!
But you wre nowhere to be found.

Villainy,
Disfigured,
Humiliated,
Greatly ashamed!
But you were nowhere to be found,
And the day ended with a sad note.

I deny that villainy is ever necessary. It is impossible that it should ever be necessary for any reasonable creature to violate all the laws of justice, mercy, and truth. No circumstances can make it necessary for a man to burst in sunder all the ties of humanity. It can never be necessary for a rational being to sink himself below a brute.

Anger (This is not directed at anyone)

You want to know what anger is?
I tell you, you do not!
For it is a feeling that extinguishes all life,
Destruction and rage is what it has in store for you,
Your soul will be tortured at every last minute,
You waste, with anger's villainy.
Anger swears to muderously end all existence,
And it will threaten everyone and everything,
I tell you now...not to fall into it's cunning trap,
For anger can be devious at times.
And if you fall into it, get out quickly,
For every second in there is a second lost to it's wrath,
Be sure to avoid it poet,
Do not be tempted to serve anger.

A Wheel

A wheel tortures the side of our legs,
Opening the hated sentences of joy as it speaks;
One invention of our intelligence converts
The spoken value of a fatal clause
And murmurs reality of a far-reaching kind.

The wheel grinds to historical help,
Collapsing under colossal strength of forces
That centre on the brilliant light emitted
From the fortune now in sight,
What is the sight of our sensation?

A guild of thieves wonders at wide prospects
Of the villainy escaping the night,
With wheels to carry, and wheels to mutate
The living genes and their powerful effects
Inside the soul of our life that spins around.

Ch 06 On Weakness And Old Age Story 09

I have heard that in these days a decrepit aged man
Took the fancy in his old head to get a spouse.
He married a beauteous little girl, Jewel by name,
When he had concealed his casket of jewels from the eyes of men
A spectacle took place as is customary in weddings.
But in the first onslaught the organ of the sheikh fell asleep.
He spanned the bow but hit not the target; it being impossible to sew
A tight coarse robe except with a needle of steel.
He complained to his friends and showed proofs
That his furniture had been utterly destroyed by her impudence.
Such fighting and contention arose between man and wife
That the affair came before the qazi; and Sa’di said:
‘After all this reproach and villainy the fault is not the girl’s.
Thou whose hand trembles, how canst thou bore a Jewel?’
