The Human Condition

Love those in need of care Fill the hungry with food Coddle the orphan with loads to bare Believe in the misunderstood Help the weak to fend for themselves Help those without cause to believe Excite the poor with prospects of wealth Learn from the wise, teach what you conceive Direct the blind who cannot see Provide the cold with hope & heat Release the caged, set them free Salute those who admit defeat Accept what’s written in the stars Believe in fate and destiny Bring peace to those at constant war Shelter the scared, show sympathy Live morals, grace and capability Have faith in the human entity Profit from the song I was born to sing Promise the poet his dreams Wolves in sheep’s clothing lingering Not everything is what it seems.
