Challenge And Plea

December 20, 2010

Poets and teachers!
Artists and preachers!

Have a look at this world
Have a look at this life
Our body is the cage
Our mind is the flame
The planet is the stage
Our life is the game

But the script is insane
Seeking fortune and fame
Finding scandal and shame
Never taking the blame
And denying the claim
That everything’s in vain

You never reach your aim
You’re left out in the rain

Poets and teachers!
Artists and preachers!
Bring hope and relief
From depression and grief
Teach trust and empathy
Teach how to live in harmony
