After, what will I become
with walks through cherry orchards?
before fruit trees blossomed
after a lumberjack was heard
hack hack.


What will I become?
waiting for everyman
at the crossroads
of anywhere

Who will I be?
che sera sera
truth easy to see
hard to apply
real social change

Someone felt a mild
historical touch
stayed then departed
whatever was started.
Whatever will be,
the going to happen
once was
what will I become?
the lumberjack knew
when the woods were cut.

Gosh, Martin, this is amazing.

I saw so much in this and not only from a societal/political point of view,
but moreso spiritual.  

It can even apply very well to a relationship.

The whole of life, really.

You took me on a walk in the woods and I let the birdies eat my breadcrumbs!

It has been far too long since I have read you.

"the going to happen
once was"

Yes, you're right!  Enjoyed this questioning poem very much because I think it's something we need to do - we owe it to ourselves.
Happy holidays!

when the woods are all cut
and only the stumps
are left to show...
