"And did you keep your lawn tidy?--Did you exhaust the maximal quantity of the water allotted to you in the desert city where you dwelt?"
--Or did you lose the desire to have a beautiful home?"
And, he continued,
"Did you think that by keeping it tidy, by employing a man who you paid poorly,
and by exploiting Mexicans, you were really going to win heaven?
Did you imagine that it is saintly to ignore the suffering around you
and indulge in your own petty pleasures?"
The joke was on the tidy ones,
Because they were the ones he sent below to a special level of hell,
with a sign in front:
"Reserved: for the Tidy and Smug Bourgeoisie".
And a smaller sign was hung below:
No Dogs or Philosophers Allowed.
