What age is this, O Father, what age is this?
Evil blooms in the world, O Father, no good abides.
O Father, evil blooms in the world.

Worshippers of wealth, slaves to greed,
They conduct their dark dealings in secret.
Half a bread, a torn loincloth,
Our own fate is wretched.
Those with small minds, with bloated bellies, rejoice,
Those with small minds, with bloated bellies, rejoice.

Severing ties with Dharma, they sit,
Abandoning truth and non-violence, they sit.
They sow thorns, they reap thorns, no one shares sorrow.
If someone scolds us, let a black dog bite them.
