Get the way xcii



We now know why the waters taste sour
And we need to purify the waters for tomorrow
From showers of rain from the highest heavens
From springs of rare finds in greener lands

May the insight of men be guided from heaven
That the strings of unity and peace be found
Tying families together in generational extensions
Building friends of God to higher esteem and respect

May the cause of childhood be righter in adult eyes
That trails of development be good enough for brains
Of tomorrow to realign courtesies and motherly cares
Of future histories and discoveries inside native abodes

May the fun be reasoned into cuns of far perspectives
Where ecstatic bewilderment is replaced by calculations
Of sonship benefits and due promotion of integrations
Of winsome foundations in progenies of natal purity

When milk maids invest in storage powers of memory
When fears of stemming confusion is left for the child
To grow and read through professorial condensations
To imbibe and be righter in lesser sins of Adam
