Let Us Do Something

Let us do something,
while we have the chance!
It is not every day
that we are needed.
Not indeed that we
personally are needed.
Others would meet
the case equally well,
if not better.
To all mankind
they were addressed,
those cries for help
still ringing in our ears!
But at this place,
at this moment of time,
all mankind is us,
whether we like it or not.
Let us make the most of it,
before it is too late!
Let us represent
worthily for once
the foul brood to which
a cruel fate consigned us!
What do you say?
It is true that when with folded arms we weigh the pros and cons we are no less a credit to our species.But that is not the question. What are we doing here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in the immense confusion one thing alone is clear.
We are waiting for Godot to come...
--Samuel Beckett
