  " at leve er at lære - at lære er at leve"

 

Glæden ved at kunne - det man skal.

- 

   en sang til den voksne dansker

 

Ka’ hænde at mit hår er gråt,

og min fysik lidt flossen.

Men jeg kan li’ dig – lis’så godt

og være lis’så tosset

med dig - Som da du tog min hånd

og sagde disse orde.

”Hvis Vi skal ud på livets vej

Må jeg vær’ din eskorte?”

 

At man ska’ kunne, når man ska’

Derpå kan (h)vis man være.

Men ka’ man ikke det - til dels

så skal man ikke blære,

sig med, man kunne det engang

for længe, længe siden.

Men heller prøve - nok engang

Så går det nok – med tiden.

 

Når andre de vil frem for os,

og ikke ka’ la’ vente.

Men damptogtsagtigt bruser frem

Så bær dig det in mente.

Vi når det nok, i alle fald.

Så bare la’ dem bruse

af sted og over stokkesten[1]

Og lad dig ikke knuse.

 

 

 

 

 

Giv plads for Loke som for Thor

Og andre tolerangser,

samt udenbyske visdomsord

og ditto ignorancer.

Lad vær’ og træd på nogens tær, ‘

men nænsomt favner alle,

med miskundhed [2]og alt det der,

Lad Chauvinismen[3] falde.

 

 

Vær frejdig og vær uforsagt[4

Men lad dig overmande,

Så andre også ka’ få sagt

Det som de helst vil sande.

Gå kun din skæve gang på jord.

Lad andre gå de lige.

Gør plads ved livets spisebord

Til fattig og til rige.

 

Gå løs på livet – ubeset,

Men - kend dig selv [5] - med måde.

Når blot du er dig selv bekendt,

og tro mod det - du troede.

Når hjertet banker, pulsen slår,

og længslen lystigt lokker

Så glem du de forgangne år.

Spring ud på ny! – for pokker.


[1] Når det går over stok og sten så kalker man bindingsværk.

[2] Barmhjertighed

[3] Chauvinisme er overspændt nationalisme.

[4] Vedvarende i formål

[5]  Oraklet i Delfi
