Iron is removed from the earth,
Copper is smelted from ore;
And, gold is refined!
But, there is always a smelter for silver.
To all gray headed fathers,
And, to the living things under the waters;
Learn the ways of the ant and be wise,
And, don't let the truth crash you down.
Will there be life for tomorrow?
Will there be peace for tomorrow?
Will there be love for tomorrow?
The muse of the truth,
To hear and to know about it;
And like the sight of the rainbow in the sky.
A time period,
A time sequence,
A time segment;
Like the muse of a lamp-stand!
Bringing light to all.

Edward Kofi Louis
