People make a bridge
to carry precious freight
The river rushes underneath
Calmly vessels wait
This link spins fast turning
like a store’s revolving door
The world opens up and may seem rich
with a natural resource
but there’s a hitch
We must keep connected
Crossing our courageous course
*
People make a wish
And complain if it is late
In privilege some believe
They deserve a better fate
Heads spin fast and turn
Away from more necessary chores
They pillage the world
And may seem rich
with less care at their core
but what they miss is
How we are each connected
Causing consequences
on our own accord
*
We do what we think is best
Sometimes
People just don’t care
Truth is that often
We would care for the rest
But we largely remain unaware
Unable to see
or hear
Past barriers
Sometimes it’s hard to understand each other
In the messages sent
And lessons learned
Our world hinges
on the viewpoints that we discover
*
Pay attention to every angle
To get the best view
We may need to think out of the box
I am trying to make it seem easy
To get the best view
An open vision
Helps us get past the locks
Willing to look at all sides
Helping others to see the same
The banks and bottom are sure guides
But the human perspective is our only frame
*
People build a bridge
To connect to a new place
Sometimes to give them much more peace
Enter a calm head space
The key spins fast turning
At the core resolving more
The world we need opens
and may seem rich
With new moral supports
But if that’s our wish
And we are so connected:
Be cool, keeping calm and considerate
on everyone’s crash course
