I Don'T Need To Be

I don’t need to be a farmer To know life is hard work and sacrifice I don’t need to be Gandhi To know peace is the only way I don’t need to Martin Luther King Jr. To have a dream of unity I don’t need to be a samurai To know that honor is expressed daily By meeting ones responsibilities With determination and care I don’t need to be Mother Teresa To Know it is our responsibility to lift up others I don’t need to be Jesus To Know right from wrong And always do the right thing I don’t need to be Buddha To know one should always strive To be logical and emotionally sound I don’t need to be the devil To know the weakness of men I don’t need to be the Anti-Christ To see our future
