Natural Development

If I could sing a song of furtherance, There would be a score and a door; Demonstration would exemplify, What we learn and store. Appropriation would be reason, And rationality would be king, People-centred values would eschew, Those bad characters who writhe and sin. The road to freedom would be broad, Paved with happiness and concern, And justice would always return, That which you deserved, did earn. There would be a Named Person, For every child in every family, Who saw growth as a societal thing, And not as a household anomaly. Liberty would be understood, To have come from the two world wars, And information and data would be accessible: Some personal, to others it would so have bars. School assemblies would be humanistic, Promoting people-centred values; Love would be the foundation, Of differently able equals. Free speech would uphold the many, Who unquestioned identities would scratch, And valour would also be defined as, That one-another acceptance match. Evolution would offer hope and respect, Set our friendships and kind way; And all society would accommodate, The progressive changes of the day.
