How Fares Humanity

How Fares Humanity

How fares Humanity?
    Have they caught
The wind in their sails yet,
        blowing them to
Their New World??
Ah well.  They will get
There soon enough, don’t
You worry, 
     with their new flag
To be unfurled,
                    marking
Their new beginning.
          Because they
       are made
   of sterner stuff
Than thought by lesser beings,
                    thinking
To enslave them, as in
The old order of things.
                  
                         Hark.
Is that the wind I hear
As in filling canvas??
                                Yes.
Here we go, then.  Here
                     we
                               go.

And where we go One
We go All.
                  Except those
Who don’t qualify
This time around.

And you, friend?
How fare you??
In this classroom 
             for
Apprentice gods???

Set your sails, friend.
          Set your sails.  
You don’t have much time
           to consider
           the weather
                         on

   the near horizon.
