What If?


This world is all about "me"

Me, me, me

But what if it wasn't?

 

What if we all lived for each other?

What if the world spun 

on our ability to give back?

But matter-of-factly, we're not--

not giving back what we recieve.

 

The world is lacking in

the 'principal' department

Collapsing in on what that

"Golden Rule" established.

 

What if everyone volunteered time?

What if we all put down that rhyme-- 

the rhyme of life that is all about 'me'.

 

Let us help the world become a better place, 

A place where there is space

A space of clear, blue skies and

I N D I V I D U A L I T Y.
