Visionnaire / Visionary poem (bilingual)
il y a des centaines d’années
il y avait un sage fort avisé
qui le futur il avait visionné
mais tout avait tant changé
.
que ses visions l’ont effrayé
il a essayé alors de raconter
ce qu’il avait alors observé
et tout il avait mal interprété
.
vous maintenant qui le lisez
je vous prie de le pardonner
car dans ses termes arriérés
lui notre monde il a déformé
.

some hundreds of years earlier
there was a very wise elder
who the future he had viewed
but all had so much changed
.
that his visions scared him
he then tried to explain it
then what he had observed
all he had misinterpreted
.
so you now who read it
I beg you to forgive him
so in its terms simplified
our world seem distorted
