joy


a worm can surely feel contentment
you can also do so
in fact
we were once lizards...
well, i was..
can't prove it now but
well...
whatever

Joy, bright spark of divinity,
Daughter of Elysium,
All creatures drink of joy
At nature's breast.
Just and unjust
Alike taste of her gift;
She gave us kisses and the fruit of the vine,

A tried friend to the end.
Even the worm can feel contentment,
And the cherub stands before God!

Thus, brothers, you should run your race,
As a hero going to conquest.
You millions, I embrace you.

This kiss is for all the world!
