The Indian Subcontinent Argues with Itself

The world turned upside down

They are told it’s the Kali Yuga, and they rejoice!
The Dharma and the Dao are needful
As they are what not to do!
Striving to virtue is sin,
Abnegation of indulgence the ultimate betrayal of self.
There is no god above to glorify,
Just a feeling to glory in….

I love your work to death. . . . but, I really think maybe poetry is not your thing and you might want to stick to prose. Then again, maybe I’m just thick.

Peace out.

Were these busts originally colored in? and what did the colored versions look like? Is there a site with pictures of Roman statues in their original (re-created) colors?
btw, I knew this was Sulla, but when I Google the image, Google is pretty sure this is some Japanese poet (Yasunari Kawabata).. 🙂
