Default We Are All Dr Faustus
We Are All Dr Faustus


In a way we are all
Dr Faustus.

One from his craze
and another helpless from blackmail
barters away his soul.

One mortgages his eyes
to trade in dreams
and another offers
his mind as collateral.
All that one may need sense
is the currency of the day.

So a survey of life’s Wall Street says
that among those with the buying power these days
self-respect is very popular.
