NIP IN THE BUD

In the very safe track of bright light
The trace of pitch darkness
Step by step
Dares to dim to the brim
Essential to avert it in the ways right.

In the life-path of ever speeding race
All hurdles and pitfalls
Spell by spell
Hinders the rider’s pace
Needs the way to get rid of the force.

In the very self-shining of sum-beams
The dark-blue clouds near
Minute by minute
Care to shatter their glitter
Search for a trial for their scatter ever.

In the plant-growth in full exuberance
Pests and germs in the root
Inch by inch
Fully destroy to the lifeless
In quest of the ways to nip in the bud.

In the sunshine of butterfly freedom
Trespassers and invaders
Second by second
Cause slavery and bondage
Resort to kick off a despotic kingdom.

In the very joyous sail on serene waters
A minute hole in the ship
Drop by drop
Sinks sailors to the bottom
Make a hey while the sun shines bright.
