Jeremiah 9:1 

I wish that my head were a well full of water
and my eyes were a fountain full of tears!
If they were, I could cry day and night
for those of my dear people who have been killed

 

Satire

 

Lick your nose my brother it is dripping on your chin

if it tastes salty spit it in the air.

Maybe someone will catch it and save it for a while

until they run out of snot and are coughing in despair.

 

Lick your tears my brother they are streaming down your face.

They are for yourself you know and not for the human race.

Get rid of your selfishness and feeling sorry for your case.

Life won’t last too long this way while you‘re in outer-space.
