It is time!
Time to rehumanise—in
A manner of speaking.
The skeptic—certainly we’ve all been there—
Might retort „What, with all the stress
And fear? Humanity seems besides itself—
Divided, angry, lost!“ But another year has past
And a new year moves forward...
Be not like a lion … or something of that sort—
Nor display a „faux air“
Of Nebuchadnezzar in the fields,
With hair that reminds of eagles‘ feathers,
Nails grown like bird claws...
Rather take pleasure in the grass,
In being at rest or making a path,
Savor that chant of the seasons
With its hope for the future...
Be of good cheer in the wind!
A moment or two will pass,
The purpose—our better natures made clear!
Now a new idea—
A better time has arrived,
In laughter feel no sense confined!
Patiently move on,
Rejoice in the decency of man!
