REQUIEM FOR THE 20TH CENTURY

2. Beginning

Weep now.
Weep for mothers, for fathers, for daughters, for sons.
Weep now.
Weep for all who have lost and all have,
for those who cry out at this we face.
Weep now.
Weep for this finality, this that looses our moorings,
for this that lets us free to drift dark waters through rainbows,
to drift among lily pads and listen to the callings of bullfrogs.
