สูเอ๋ยคิดบ้างหรือไม่...ราชากับปรสิตกำเนิดจากแห่งใดกัน?

"Whence, thinkest thou, kings and parasites arose?
Whence that unnatural line of drones who heap
Toil and unvanquishable penury
On those who build their palaces and bring
Their daily bread? -From vice, black loathsome vice;
From rapine, madness, treachery, and wrong;
From all that genders misery, and makes
Of earth this thorny wilderness; from lust,
Revenge, and murder. -And when reason’s voice,
Loud as the voice of Nature, shall have waked
The nations; and mankind perceive that vice
Is discord, war and misery; that virtue
Is peace and happiness and harmony;
When man’s maturer nature shall disdain
The playthings of its childhood; -kingly glare
Will lose its power to dazzle, its authority
Will silently pass by; the gorgeous throne
Shall stand unnoticed in the regal hall,
Fast falling to decay; whilst falsehood’s trade
Shall be as hateful and unprofitable
As that of truth is now."

Percy Bysshe Shelley, Queen Mab

บทกลอนจากกวีอังกฤษ Percy Bysshe Shelley ครับ อ่านแล้วเข้ากับอารมณ์ที่ค้างจากเมื่อวานพอดี

เสียดายเนอะที่ไม่ใช่นักชีววิทยาแต่ง :)
