father law, father tyrant, father death;

mother love, mother devour, mother fear;

child change, child usurp, child destroy.

 

Law protects the weak,

Tyrant for the strong

Death is always the same

 

Love accepts and enfolds

Fear ensures no one grows

Devourer swallows in need

 

Change fulfills the promise

Usurper changes for self

Destroyer changes for change

 

Without change, law dies rigid,

Without love, law merely rules,

Without change, love quickly smothers,

Without limit, love soon constrains,

Without love, change will destroy,

Without form, meaningless change.

 

tyrant fears usurper

death devouring destroys

law transforms in love
