- This poem may be duplicated and distributed freely provided the
following three restrictions are adhered to during the duplication
and distribution of said poem, regardless of the number of recursive
duplications or distributions made:
Point systems and caste systems and levels of Parliament,
Hierarchy and aristocracy set before us,
Measuring righteousness, health and value
As if preparing to gain control.
Who is the witch and who is the hunter ?
Which witch in which month hunts which haunt ?
The judge is always under judgment.
It is compulsion, but not completely useless.
To get an owl's eye view of the human nation
Is to know humility and to know the silly workings of a hive of bees,
Confused about their roles,
Cycling between the observer and the observed.
