@ our gatherings...’round fires & tables & pools & action,

Come this warm weekend of family & friends in aim & accord,

In remembrance of heroes & fools & hope mongers w/ideas:

Will some toss ‘em back & consider the alternatives...

WE could be harvesting as a civilization of community,

Had the sources of all self-indulgence not been kowtowed to

With such fixed vigor & quaking prostration to despotism?

To those who still risk sanctuary to hope & future generations: 

Cheers! & Godspeed; ...Hope Energy Perseverance....
