“The eyes from behind the books
Hiding from the world, with its crooks,
trying to muster some calm,
to dispel vices from the earth’s palm”
“Diversity be a blooming boon,
You will see it later or all too soon
For all we want is brotherhood to grow,
But how will we grow, with no seeds to sow”
“I hear the cry of a child,
and the roar from the wild
trying to muster some calm,
to dispel vices from the earth’s palm”
“But the good will be released from the pithos,
which will travel the world from Korinthos
upon the world fate will grace bestow,
and the air of earth and joy of each other we shall hallow”
