Beasts of England

...on our opening of the year, we trod the roads the heroes afore us have trodden. In such quarters, we mostly find inspiration galore

BEASTS OF ENGLAND : George Orwell

Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland
Beasts of every land and clime
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time

Soon or late the day is coming
Tyrant man shall be o'erthrown
And the faithful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone

Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back.
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack

Riches more than mind can picture
Wheat and barley, oats and hay
Clover, beans and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day

Bright will shine the fields of England
Purer shall its waters be
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On that day that sets us free

For that day we all must labour
Though we die before its break
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys
All must toil for freedom's sake

Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland
Beasts of every land and clime
Hearken well and spread my tidings
Of the golden future time
~ George Orwell

:In art, in living, in the space of every heart throb, may the possibility of positivity in every endeavor be our leading thought. May our hearts be captured in the pursuance of the thrilling and soul-satisfying! May we enjoy the ride, and when it ends, may we find our way home.
