The greatest of altruists, a man of heart,

He tried to secure a place, in his paradise lost.

Unlike Milton’s paradise, his own was

full of velvet ignorance, unwilling vice—

of victimized love, or ignored crimes,

of his own loss, but in the old times;

Whatever it was, it was his oasis,

his poems, carrying various faces!
