IN   THE   LASTING

Sad are you,
when the wicked revile you
and persecute you
and falsely spread
all sorts of evil over you
and those who are dear to you.

Praised are you
when you are ridiculed
or discriminated against
or maimed, if not killed,
while furthering the just and good,
for yours is the realm of value.

Glad are you,
when you resist and suffer
for the sake of the neutral Norm.
First sorrowful, then rejoicing,
you shall find the world's reward,
verily, in the lasting.



Vinsent Nandi
