THE HUMAN CONDITION
We are prisoners of time,
Slaves to circumstance,
And beggars for eternity.
We have so made small our souls
To match our situations,
That in greed for trash,
We have trampled greatness.
And laughing at their prey,
Time tightens the chains
That bind us,
Circumstance cracks the whip
That marks us;
Only eternity grieves
That we are fools.

That part of him that sailed on night winds
And dropped anchor among stars,
Was tethered earthly to restored buildings
And granite monuments.
He revered his own past,
As one who polishes pewter,
Expecting sterling to emerge.

And when you have finished If I Never Say More, you will be asking for more.
