Waves Ethan Moskovitz ’27 I sit at the beach, and let my eyes drift beyond One by one, crests and troughs approach and recede Waves, striving for attention by a larger force Waves, striving to finish the job they were born to complete Waves, weak in the one, but strong in the many Waves, striving through this land’s swirling infinity Waves, with a determination so intrinsic to their own existence Then, I let my eyes drift to my left, where the colors shift from deep blues to yellowish tans One by one, heads and feet complete action and action Humans, striving for success, money, and power Humans, weak in the one, but powerful in the many Humans, striving for complete unity, yet propagate so much separation in their lives Humans, striving through the greatest atrocities through grit and sweat and tears Humans Waves Humans Waves ------------------------------------- We are linked We are tainted, yet we have purpose We are burdened, and yet we are determined We are crushed, and yet we rise up in the face of fear We are stopped, and yet we always complete the objective We are waves And we are humans 3
