Valiant babies, set flight from womb
Tyrannical conception lay in our wake
Freedom is swift to deny our right
Join now infantile infantry,
the fight begins
Grasp quick to know all, learn fast without pause
The time comes with great rapidity
Abortion of knowledge stalks us all.
Together, we children,
designed
by friction haste
Side by side, this battle bore
Adolescent rage, the wars now waged
Come now, later arrives too soon
Ejaculated wisdom becomes our boon.
Developed fully, in their shimmering best
Firstly readied in the last
The dusk now dawns; twilight’s warriors stand
The book now closed
Intrepid elderly
Valiant babies, once infantile and adolescent
Ravaged by time
now dust set to flight
Our travels start anew.
