If you were sick I’d care for you
If needed, I’d be there for you
If you’d no money I would pay
If fighting, I would join the fray
In ways that matter, fair and righteous
I’ll be your torch, I’ll shine the brightest
Without integrity we’re lost
Adrift at sea, cruel waves will toss
With ruthlessness we draw a line
It’s through this act we are defined
The world is vast, our clashes many
Divergences, of which there’s plenty
Does not negate that we’re selfsame
To live, let live, threads through our aims
So should we feel resentment rise
Be spurred to hurt those we despise
I beg, dig deep, find better self
Do right by being something else
Protect each other, what we do
One thing to be? We must be true
For if we hoard most greedily
Seek shallow, empty destiny
Tis self-fulfilling prophecy
We make it so? So it will be…
