The torrential outpouring of words
Our greed and avariciousness
Our total disregard to the inner stirrings
Puts the soul in a catatonic state
Casting a veil of darkness
On the Garden of Eden
The emotion which we take for joy
Is merely a travesty of the real thing

I would like to translate this poem
Torrential, greed, avariciousness, catatonic are all hard, driving, penetrating words. A veil of Darkness, on the other hand, is so tame and the Garden of Eden is so long ago and we have no memory of it. We need a new language to describe this darkness of the soul.
