To The Babe Of This Century

You've opened an epoch of an empire
You are the emperor of that empire.
Kindness and courage in blood
To which bow down people in flood
Me foreseeing in my mind - there, there!
Sparks a rise of new sun clearer, nearer!
Aren't dreams. True with your demeanor.
Darling babe, put in your ear to my mouth.
Listen, all the bygone were bitter indeath.
Now, rise like the new sun empowered
To constellate the subjects united
Into a design of your wisdom for
Peace and prosperity unseen before.
Eat not flesh. Eat green
To keep your brain evergreen
For a lasting erudition with keen
Veneration to morals profound and pristine.
To signify the babe of the century?
No. Man of centuries. Aye!
