We have in general, as a society Gone into an evolutionary stupor Waiting for things to “happen to us;” And having thus become reactionary Instead of pioneering proactivity (Which has been a hallmark and A badge or merit we have carried Through the centuries until now) Slumber until we begin to live again Lift our gaze from our lint-free navels And look around; walk and be a part Of this existence, this is no dream... This is no nightmare... never has... We can rouse ourselves & each other Raise a bugle sound for one and all!
