Appy Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) Rejoice! - For it is Day! It is the crack of dawn the birds are singing in every tree After that first magic hour, silence.. and they go on with that which birds do best Humanity then draws my eye They get out of bed before being fully rested Grumbling and yawning into their coffeecups shouting at the people with whom they share the early road to work ------- Rejoice! - For it is Night! The deep silent of the late hour, so late that it is almost early For birds slowly wake up and ruffle their feathers after a good night's sleep Getting reading to sing Humanity again draws my eye Singing themselves in their drunken tongues Not caring about the next day Filling their bellies with late night snacks sloshing them down with more beer drinking on the headache that they know will happen ------- Rejoice! - For it is Humanity!

Regel Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 A very nice commentary on the human condition. We are out of step with the natural world. I especially liked the contrast. Nice piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parmenion Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 (edited) I think Regel summed it up quite nicely too. I loved the snapping effect of being thrown from the natural jungle of life into the urban jungle and back. /nicks Appy's "rejoice" Parmenion rejoices!!!!
