When Done
7/31/11
Great anticipation can drive people
to accomplish much with little
in way of time, money,
resources, spurring on creative invention
out of desperation in circumstances
likened to war, financial ruin,
where complete upheaval envelopes countries
as citizens bond, becoming unit
ready to defend national identity
after initial separation, isolation, shock,
there's phenomenon of looking ahead
when visions of goodness inspire
humans to move in directions
that benefit future world inhabitants
and those suffering greatly now
with social constructs which enliven,
these include time tested ceremonies
celebrating births, graduations, marriages, holy-days,
seasonal equinox, solstice, midpoints that
provide for continued essential purpose
whenever divisive living gets best
of our integrity, undermining vitality,
instilling stress, fear, as motivators
or whatever expectation delivers impetus,
afterward we can remember lessons
life taught us when done.
