   The Procession
Here they come
The bards of nations with
Song, dress and flag
Each praising their own.

There they go
The singers of those themes:
How their country came of age
And joined the company of those
Rejoicing their native lands.

How distant that seems to us.
Witnesses to a changing world
We face stark choices easier
To ignore than confront.
Worrying whether the
World we live in will
Continue to endure
For all our peoples.
