Those Who Burn Themselves for the Common Good
“When leaving home, always assume You will encounter an honest man” A Vietnamese proverb
Burning is the denial of darkness, Mindfully, brighter than all thought, In action, swifter than bird or beast. Pour on the girl all your light. Find life in a flame out of night
Burning is the denial of darkness, A mad plunge into eyes, inward but remote From the shepherd’s fire to the sky’s pyre. Pour on the girl all your light. Sleep stirs with stars shining briht.
Burning is the denial of darkness, To the end of truth, our long and naked budies gloat- Don’t we come alive as we blaze and glow? Pour on the girl all your light, So the day may arrive before daylight.
