Ancestors and successors

Ancestors and successors

A Poem by Rémi Ruben

I dream of seeing myself, in like-mindedness

With my grand, great-grand, great-great-grand-parents

All of whom, since the beginning of existence

Have given their time, for me to be present

 

Refrain

To speak my mind out, about humankind

Make myself heard, in this chapter and verse

Contribute to universe’s character

Together with my ancestors and successors

 

Link up with all the forerunners - Who have made the earth, gain ground

Meet up, all these diligent men - Whom I feel indebted to

Embrace all these daring women - Whom I owe so much caring

 

Refrain

 

Ask everybody’s forgiveness - For my shortcomings and negligence

For no more interferences - Get together, on the same wavelength

 

In common sense with our birth innocence - In the essence of our juvenescence

In the full bloom of our adulthood - With the wisdom of our earlier born

 

Refrain

 

I dream of getting to know, all those yet to be born

Who will all eventually become, their own master and Lord

Wise men, who will no longer till soil at the sweat of their brow

Sage mothers, who will no longer give birth in pain, or in vain

 

Refrain
