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
