We Are World Wide Mirrors

World wide poverty for us all please
We groan. We march. We kick. We stomp and wheeze.
World wide fairness for all of us please.
We shrivel. We shake. We taunt and we tease.

World wide humor for you and me both.
Let us take the pledge.  Let us swear the oath.
Life has to be fair.  We need to take turns.
We better each other.  We crash and we burn.
