Freudenfreude

Freudenfreude

Can’t we stop the cynicism
Just for once, and just for now ?
Just for the hell of being alive,
For being bright and bold !

Stop looking for cataclysm,
Any chance and anyhow –
And just let’s well-and-truly thrive,
Before our fire grows cold.

To our ev’ry enemy,
May you find a happiness
Within the happiness of others
And the smiles that they deploy.
To coalesce serenity,
Then treat us like your brothers –
Kill the envy,
Hug the joy.

Can’t we try to stop the schism,
Can’t we live-and-let-allow ?
Embrace the infidel, and strive
For unity to hold.

Can’t we see we are a prism,
Hurtling through a world of wow ?
So let’s all yell as we arrive
By ringing-out the old !
