***

The world asks

How do you do?

I do everything I can

Sometimes brutally honest

And I am a considerate man

If there is disagreement for a minute

It was not my plan

*

You can always be sure that

There is something else going on

Paying attention is not wrong

My love is strong

*

Sometimes

We don’t have

the resources to cover every angle

There are conflicting views

More than just once in a while

But in the remaining hours

We build more power

To get the job done

Maybe have some fun and smile

*

We have a vision

Fight for justice

For all involved

And our resources

For our own space

A problem to solve

*

No one will ask us

So we should say

The way it is

To be who we are

Right from the start

With more strength to give

*

Good will gets farther

when fair is fair

We all our stars

And we get closer

Calm kind and smart

Our strong mind and heart
