EXERCISE OF POWER
Satur Sulit
Bright ideas do not change the world;
it is exercise of power, child,
that does the work.
THE VALUE OF WORK
Satur Sulit
elections alone won’t buy us good government
good intentions alone don’t guarantee a result
a self-regulating, efficient operation
is won by perfected working relations
it isn’t there on demand, it isn’t there for sale
we must grow it like all things, with care
by doing it right, keeping it going, by being there
it only just happens after some time
when it falls into a rhythm and hums into life
a government that works is the priceless reward
of a nation that works; alas, not until then
THE LIFE WE LIVE
Satur Sulit
the life we lead
is the path we walk
the road not taken
is a life unlived
the way to anywhere
is a way of life
the way to live
is a question mark
nothing is certain
all is a blur
we see what we see
and see to it
we go where we step
and do what we do
and over and over
become who we are
THY KINGDOM COME
Satur Sulit
comforts, tranquility, good times…
these are the pleasures that make life worthwhile
…and victories…
we must succeed against all odds
that is the cost.
VELOCITIES
on the occasion of copenhagen:
Satur Sulit
s-l-o-w
is the world we are born into,
the universe takes its time,
taking pleasure
in its states of equilibrium,
bearing life.
now man, its own, its favored child,
his engines roaring
sends it hurtling
into untested futures
of catastrophe and destruction.
the word is out:
if there is an end of the world
it will be man-made
