Wistful wanderings of my mind,

take me from stubble scratching

to thoughts of just how to unwind

the complex issues we face today…

 

Mankind is gifted with intelligence,

we know that is a truth for sure,

yet still pursues ancient grievance

that only serve to bring pain for more

 

Better that we stop and think of more ways

to shape a society where all give as they can

so that we can look forward to happy days

when cooperation reaps rewards that wars do not

 

So let us all see to the thirst of the many

and work to make a fair division of wealth

for if we only take and never give any

we cause those resentments that kill by stealth…
