 What talents...

We enter into this world

Part of a chain of visionaries, crafters and builders

The next generation of engineers, scientists and statesmen and women

Our interests given tone and texture

By working experience

Developed over time and the natural need to overcome obstacles

Fashioned by our dreams and expanding needs

ENTER/ THE JESTER

War clouds gather

Beautiful living, homes and family torn

People rally to the call to war

Fight valiantly

Too little, too late

Technologies of the alien forces

Overcome

Prisoners are taken

Those who resist are captured or destroyed

Enslavement is the consequence

Lands are taken,

The wealth and beauty, ravaged

Generations of those removed

Endure and hold on to their freedom

Resistance of heart and mind

Are natural as life

Live and die

Yes

Give and take

To circumvent the evil forces hold

What freedom can never die

Inborn talents are not erased by slavery

Not by mistreatment and degradation

Disruption of living naturally

By programs to subsistence and platitudes

Natural resistance meets resentful attitudes

The heartbeat of a people

Like drumbeats which never die

Continue to inspire and incite

Natural rhythms

Of people who posses talents for living

Which cannot be suppressed

Once again,

Visionaries, crafters and builders

Arise into the new day

Irrepressible

Hardened by struggle

Focused by hardship

Gifted from the beginning of time

…Unto eternity
