iuvenes dum sumus

[fledgist]

the music moves across the cold grey sea

through empty space and then the warm applause

erupts into my heart the proper cause

is truth and order in all that we see

set out before us the true honest plea

of decent life that grows without a  pause

through urgent summer with its verdant laws

written in thunder music sets us free

now let our eyes not focus on the cloud

but seek the sunlight and the surging tide

never complain that enemies are proud

nor that there are key matters to decide

for now's the moment to use your own voice

unleash your proper laughter and rejoice
