Act - Mildred Sope

People of the earth
Where are you going
Fast
     Faster
          Faster yet
Where is the limit
To what end do we rush

Profound and wise
Words there are many
But
Of what worth are your words
what do they accomplish

I Feel submerged
I can't breathe
This mountain of words
Is the cause

Action
One word that can be said
Accomplish
Get it done
Reality we can
See
     Feel
          Touch
An end to the misery
Push away the mountain
Do
     Act
          Achieve
When do we start

Mildred Sope (born 1950) Vanuatu
