The Cornerstone of a New World

If you wish, my dearest friend, as I do A better world to build, let us build it together And make it: Juster Kinder Nobler. Let us lay the foundations of that world that would be more compassionate and more loving than the one we Live today, Not only for you and for me But For our children, and the children of Their children! Yes, I admit that it is a complex undertaking, Perhaps, an impossible task, as the past centuries Have so emphatically asserted But There are more centuries before us, Unborn centuries, Innocent millennia, Waiting for a better world to come, For that We must not betray their trust in us, We must not disappoint their aspirations. Let us, therefore, Start building this magnificent world of our dreams, Today. Tell me, my loving friend, Is there a finer duty? A holier mission? A more righteous and sacred Pursuit than this? Is there anything else more inspired by men, More loved by God? No, you know there is none! Therefore We must not hesitate any longer, come, Let us dare! Together, you and I, my brother, Let us begin this holy enterprise For We owe it to ourselves To our descendants To the present and future humanity Thus Let us lay the cornerstone of This illustrious structure now, By Taking the most challenging step forward: Ourselves to change! ©Demetrios Trifiatis 14 June 2021
