According to the author's own comments, this poem "deals with our power to make a world we want. Peformative speech. Blake are you proud?"
---
Let us dwell for but awhile
On creations inadvertent--
On "Logos" of our own stamp
And strum the dust from ancient harpstrings
And sigh through Aeolian throats
Let us shout and scream to shatter sky,
Revealing our new faces to Heaven
May the child's eye glint once more
With ancestral laughter
And let us, grinning, drink our tears by pints
And, smashing glasses, fill our lungs
With joyful, empowering breath
We have spoken, sung, laughed and cried forth
A wonderful reality

I don't know about Blake (William, or Halseide?), but I am proud.
Haha. I meant William, believe it or not! Your pride makes me giggle.
