the heavens opened up and have given me this gift
to pen these missives whose intent is to uplift
sow peace in this world and try best to heal rift
bridge chasm of mistrust, the truth and lies to sift
help everyone get a second chance,
not just give short shrift
let everyone see eye to eye,
let them catch each other’s drift
patience is key,
these things will take time
there’s no need to be swift
why spend on hoopla
for the work to be done,
it best to exercise thrift
to the opportunists who
seek gain for themselves,
those about to grift
be best beware of the
changes to come,
what’s known as the planetary shift
where i once used to think i was the chosen one,
an idea now long since pfft
there is no loss for me over such a role,
not even am i miffedÂ
for to claim to be the messiah, surely i would have whiffed
struck out badly, not to think of those who’d feel stiffed
we’re all in this together,
no reason to be lost,
be cast adrift
with love as our guide
we can change what’s inside
hearts and minds we can all lift
