"We are that part
of Nature
shaping land sea and air--
understanding how the seasons
know when to change,
satisfying the wants of the hacendados
according to their laws."
2.
"We will be that part
of Nature
shaping social history--
understanding how men
know when to change,
satisfying each man woman and child
according to their needs."

Some old travelers and I continue
reading the signs of the times
and imagine
peace.

Nice poem, Carlos :)
try to satisfy someone else is the end of peace...then only can only imagine peace, perhaps....let them all be, as nature does....
let go awry, and then find peace back -- all on its own...with no interventions...the social history would have been so different then -- each responsible for one self....but no, children need support....
the poem made the thoughts flow,
