They don’t like us and she can’t stand him/
He doesn’t like me and I’m not trying to be friends/
Because none of that matters when the day light ends/
Is the enemy of my enemy really my friend?/
News Flash!!!
Promises of “Easy Living” for the lazy who’d listen/
The same ones who scream “Grind Time” and “Can’t Stop The Hustle”/
Are the same who complain about every day struggles/
Ownership, leadership, humility and compassion/
Sweat and hard work are no longer in fashion/
Players but no coaches/
Hard Rocks but no boulders/
Bosses without workers/
Soldiers who don’t salute soldiers/
The Illusion of Utopia and the Lies of Like/
News Flash!!!
Poems do not have to rhyme and some spoken words are better without mics/
A thousand nations/
can send a thousand ships/
that each carrying a thousand men/
with each man carrying hate in his heart/
Off to war on the surface of a peaceful Sea/
With orders to kill their enemies when the signal is given/
And those thousand ships/
each carrying a thousand men/
with each man carrying hate in his heart/
will occupy the surface of that peaceful Sea/
starring at their enemies/
Waiting for that signal that gives them permission/
And there they sit…
On the same body of water/
Looking at each other/
Hating one another/
Peacefully waiting for the orders to kill/
Peacefully waiting for the orders to kill/
My point is that the water of the sea is peacful regardless of the discontent between people that share the same space/
We don’t have to “like” one another to co-exist/
The world has become less about who gets the job done and more about who doesn’t like who/
It is our differences that make us versatile/
The ability to accept, challenge and debate those differences is the path to greatness/
The only utopia I know of is not of this Earth/
But we can at least be great while we’re here/
Let me be great ~
