Maybe the morning sun is a five-cent yellow balloon,And the evening stars the joke of a God gone crazy. Maybe the mothers of the world, And the life that pours from their torsal folds— Maybe it’s all a lie sworn by liars, And a God with a cackling laughter says:“I, the Almighty God, I have made all this, I have made it for kaisers, czars and kings.
