Part II. Blank verse
Humaneness
Оглавление1. Humanity lives multitude of centuries
And must have known about future ours.
Some people had said of views on life,
But others can’t understand ideas fine.
2. What did they say? Very simple thing…
About the earth, – that is round, alive.
About the people, who live in spite,
And evilly destroy those, who are very kind.
3. Why doesn’t leave evil ever them
Endlessly many wars they started then.
And now continue inhuman excesses
When to put an end to wars the battle rages.
4. When will be coming peace and rest
Earth much tired is of waiting for the best.
Let us to Mother our, give restful life
Without rest has been living for a long time.
5. Always is growing for people things
Whatever do of need they, fully is giving.
Earth always fed and dressed people,
But did anyone say to Mother, we are thankful?
6. Sure, it is humanly possible, —
To say some words of love which are very simple.
About careful treatment, warm attitude
Wet-nursing, and future being kind.
7. A heart to heart talk is very good,
But good talkers are small doers. In a hut
Who lives, little speaks, but a lot does;
Without words, may silently help you.
8. Who told the truth, had perished, by spite killed.
To kill by inches, to make a bonfire of… Killers!
But thoughts of truth are living, and now
I can repeat again, – the Earth is round!
9. It can be repeated about being kind
Kind – hearted man is best, – “Blue blood”.
In tender hearts are full of feelings,
Which are very kindly, with lovely meanings.
10. Who humane are? All people be may?
Call oneself humankind? What say?
Perhaps someone be worthy of the call,
But only who is the best of them all.
