Better to live as a rogue and a bum,
a lover all treat as a joke,
to hang out with a crowd of comfortable drunks,
than crouch in a hypocrite's cloak.
If you can't dance through a common bar with a vagabond's step,
you're not going to make it.
This is the road of the reckless who gamble their lives;
risk yours, or you're not going to make it.
By Mahsati, a 12th century Iranian woman poet
