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
