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
