2622. Originality

```

There is another reason

Why I do not admire mankind.

Most people are afraid of originality.

They do not dare to embrace newness.

For me, originality

Is the blossoming and fulfilling reality

Of tomorrow’s dawn,

Which embodies God-Satisfaction

Here on earth

And

There in Heaven.
