Human Yet Circling Round Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Superman!
Human yet circling
Round
This man is a superman
At least so says he
With a certain lisp
With a view that I too see
For all of us see specificity
And
This man is a superman
I went to him
And asked him
How he became so
How to that level rose
How?
How?
He did not bring fire
As Prometheus did
Yet
He brought a different fire
His verse and his song
And he chanted freely:
That was a fire that he made
At least as great as the fire
Of Prometheus, this man,
Humble, yet erect
Into a Superman.
He is humble
He is holy
He is sacred
He knows the mass universe
And yet goes to church
Not to see but participate
Devout:
The Superman is a Poet Seer
But not all Poet Seers be
Supermen as this human.
Ah! but we can all be
We
Can all reach
The height of the level of
This Superman:
And more I would say
More: the Superman's level
In time, by dint of sacrifice,
We will beat
And that's Evolution
And
That's the flight of the steps
One by one
One after one
After the Superman
Before the Superman
Come together, humans
And joining together we will
Raise the level
The clouds will to further and
Further heights soar
Other Supermen will be in
The making.
Then we will dine
Without inferiority with the
Heavens.
Yet
In all this remain humble
To be great.
From golden plates then
We will eat
From cups of diamonds drink
The stars will in the
Lake
Of our eyes mirrored be:
We
Will take golden staffs with
Us
Breathe and sing verse
And where we tread
The Earth will sacred so declare.
We sacrifice long times
To enjoy few
Yet
That enjoyment will
In such level stand
As a drop of it equal to
An Ocean be.
We will stay here
Here first
Here on this darkening hill
Facing the beach and pebbles
Hear
The sounds round
Whisper in our ears
Thoughts
Then sleep to sink
Them in sub-consciousness.
Then
After Dawn has lighted
With smiles the wry face of
Earth
We will arise as strong
Prometheuses to will and do.
Then higher level reached
To the next level as by
Repetition yet as by sacrifice
go.
I
Thus higher and higher soar
As you humans who follow this
Plan.
We will together see increasing dawns.
We will together see increasing dusks
We will together be increasing days.
We will…
We will…
We will…
