ode to joy

i wrap up this foray into asemic writing with my own ode to joy.  “Ode to Joy” was written by german poet/playwright friedrich schiller in the summer of 1785. the ideal he described, of hope and brotherhood triumphing over war and desperation, was exactly what beethoven wanted to convey in his ninth symphony written in 1824. his is about peace. as is mine. nearly 200 years later.
