.THE CONFERENCE

...the high throne is empty;

below, at the foot of the work and the fire,
today the world speaks and burns;

...and justice imparts equality and peace,
and light,
dreams,
destiny;

...through the infinite hall, the god coughs and his joy coughs,
both stop and apologize, but it is too late:
the audience also coughs, lives, shines,
the audience is pure ember;

...clawing the air and roaring, outside is darkness;

therefore, the instructor of gods senses the aggression, opens the door,

and, on the verge of falling, assumes the risk and the dense quagmire of the battles.
