Painting of "Spirit of lasciviousness" based on the persian poem by Fereydoon Moshiri Acrylic and oil pastel on canvas 24 in X 36 in A wise man once said A wolf resides hidden in every men There is a fierce battle Day and night between men and the wolf Strong arm is not the answer with this wolf Wise men of thought knows the answer Disheveled weak men can Have a grip on his wolf's neck But the brave strong men could Be a captive of his wolf's claws He who win's this fight with his wolf Will gradually purifies as a human And he who is defeated every time by his wolf Even if he appears as men, he is a wolf He who puts up with his wolf Will gradually develop the wolf's traits Kill your inner wolf in your youth Oh, if this wolf becomes old with you In the old age, even if strong like a lion You'll be weak to face that old wolf When you see people tear up each other It's their wolfs who are guides and leader If human kind is in such pain and despair Its the wolfs who are leading the men And those dictators who are intimate with each other Its their wolfs who are companions Wolfs are allies and humans, enemies! With who should I share this unsettling truth Fereydoon Moshiri
