Ode To Ivan Efremovs Bull S Hour

Let’s dream and wonder How societies would live their diurnal, Wondrous and productive lives If every member of that fraternity Of brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, children Would have shame and higher conscience And let it be the guiding light in their beings; And also, would think only of others Because whole civilization in its multitude Would think of them before themselves; Putting Innate Responsibility and Outermost Kindness To the foreground; By making them the cornerstones Of it’s societal and unbreakable Unity. What would it be? A total horror, True Communism in making, I would think Without doubt; That how it was evinced to all who want to know In Ivan Efremov’s treatise ‘The Bull’s Hour’ In all its humble conscientiousness and much forethought; Would it ever happen? I think – not.
