You beautiful human
with your still strong grin beaming-
even now, knowing . . . we have the answer
we search for:
the power to liberate ourselves from pain
imposed by a profit system that blinds
our life in despair and regret
from that joy in the human community.
Beam on! We'll see that beam and
laugh again in the workshops for freedom.
