HERMES

There is no time for this thing you speak of.

There is no time to discuss our feelings

our beliefs

our codes of behavior.

Those were for yesterday.

Now there is only time for action.

We must move

we must do

we must perform the things we used to plan.

We must go past idle ideas

and move on to motion.

The rules have changed

the game evolved.

It is time, now,

to see

there is no time.

Run to the front

and do what you can.

Act like a hero, a soldier

for, damned

if you don't

you won't live as man

(or woman) if you don't act

and not plan.
