HEDONISM by Melkizedeck Lulandala
Yes, it dwells
It is alive and well,
In the Greek philosophy's inner chambers
Yes, it's their product
They are its devoted vendors
And I refused to be a purchaser, nor a member
Of Hellenistic views
People's destructions are due
When they told you
"Do as you wish"
When they taught you
Pleasure should surpass, amount of pain
Pain accumulated,
Just in the process of pleasure gain
Yet you are still searching for happiness
Just to end up loosing more of it, in the process
Alcoholism
And a lot of "isms"
Just for the sake of hedonism
