From Ash Wednesday by James W. Bailey

A poem...I burn a candle for your endless sufferings...I burn a candle for your senseless logic...I burn a candle for your hopeless humanity...I burn a candle for your reckless ambitions...I burn a candle for your fruitless endeavors...I burn a candle for your self‑serving Ayn Rand philosophies.
