Freedom

Jiyū o kyōju suru

The afternoon breeze
blew through the trees
dispersing brown leaves.

The place away from danger is a refuge.
Refugees flee to find safety for their use.
Like wolves we chose to move even in the night
to escape certain death as our plight.

This has been true from one generation to another.
War has been against your fellow man as brother.
It has driven non-combatants to a place that is other
than the one in which we had taken succor.

Spoils and taxes have driven war against some  flutter
of threat created by news of some slaughtering snuffer.
War has to be limited to defense to be just.
The limitation will guide those who govern for us.

A thousand years in divine sight 
are like one watch within the night.
We had been swept away like a dream.
Like the grass in the morning, we were green
then, we lost the moisture to feed our need.
We withered brown by the evening due to heat.
We consumed too much in displeasure.
We took beyond the seasoned measure.

We lost our faith for fear of wrath.
We lost our health upon this path.

We didn't change to meet the challenge.
Iniquity prevented the savagery to manage.
Guilt from secret sins held movement in check.
Profit as a motive had become a train wreck.

Destruction makes sure the days are gone.
Years are shortened before they grow long.

The span of life is eighty years.
It's more like ninety when we shed fears with tears.

The sum of life is labor and sorrow
when we don't build law with love for tomorrow.

The power of production replaces wrath with math.
This is the power that civilization has.

Learn from experience to teach yourself measure.
It is the gold which life does highly treasure.

Replace the daze of affliction in adversity
with the ways of satisfaction in maturity.

Time turns mind back to the dust to say,
"Go back to earth like a child at play."

Who feels the power of your presence?
You are in the wonder of the divine essence. 

Who loves the real feeling of your power?
You are growing in strength by the hour.

Teach us to value time for our hearts in wisdom.
We will learn to see mission with our vision.

How long will you wait?
Get this goal straight.

Be gracious with your love.
It is the message that came from above with the dove.

Satisfy us with your kindness in the morning,
so we may weather storms as life's adorning.

Make us glad by the measure of the days 
in which we were afflicted in ways
those years of adversity will be raised
as the emblem of virtue to be praised.

Show your work to your loved ones.
Your splendor will shine like the sun.

May your grace be with us.
The fruit of labor will be discussed.
We see we saw the soul as one
in the products of our love.


Psalm 90 Domine, refugium

1 Lord, you have been our refuge *
from one generation to another.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth,
or the land and the earth were born, *
from age to age you are God.
3 You turn us back to the dust and say, *
"Go back, O child of earth."
4 For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past *
and like a watch in the night.
5 You sweep us away like a dream; *
we fade away suddenly like the grass.
6 In the morning it is green and flourishes; *
in the evening it is dried up and withered.
7 For we consume away in your displeasure; *
we are afraid because of your wrathful indignation.
8 Our iniquities you have set before you, *
and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.
9 When you are angry, all our days are gone; *
we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
10 The span of our life is seventy years,
perhaps in strength even eighty; *
yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow,
for they pass away quickly and we are gone.
11 Who regards the power of your wrath? *
who rightly fears your indignation?
12 So teach us to number our days *
that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord; how long will you tarry? *
be gracious to your servants.
14 Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; *
so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
15 Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us *
and the years in which we suffered adversity.
16 Show your servants your works *
and your splendor to their children.
17 May the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; *
prosper the work of our hands;
prosper our handiwork.
