How Fill The Time Of Day? Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai
How Fill The Time Of Day?
The day is long
Long
For those whose laze
Shorter
Not so long
For those who work.
For Day is part of Time
For day of Motion part be
And in those Time and Motion
There be Spatiality
That needs to be filled.
Work, my Monsignor.
But if you laze,
The result long term
Will be the same:
One thing be different
Just one
And
Only one
Work makes civilizations
Only work, my Monsignor.

The Poet Seer and the Monsignor were always opposites, almost polar opposites. The Monsignor here is experiencing the downside of leisure - it's closer to boredom than leisure. The Poet Seer although exhausted by his tireless service is the one who feels inner peace. The quality of character the Poet Seer displays is one of the wonders of the age. I hope he inspires countless followers!
