Motion Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi
Motion
(dedicated to Fred Babbin)
You can’t wait forever
Now is a good time
To you to be decisive
The old ideas vanish
The goalposts shift
The priorities alter
As fast as you recognize
You know what’s appropriate
It will turn out right in the end
(inspired by Debussy’s Pour que la nuit soit propice)

A justice delayed is justice denied. A sound advice for one to act quickly and rightly.
