To say one thing to the world? A daunting task. I can scarcely know what the world needs, Sitting here, In this country, All my life. But I do know what America needs, And by extension, Maybe the world, also.
Fellowship. Not the kind that is forced by governments, Who would take from hard workers And their families to provide for others In harsh times. That is false, And only plants resentment.
No, We need a common fellowship of man, Where men give of themselves and their efforts Not because they were required, But because they were respondent To the human condition. Everyone picking each other up when they fall, And only expecting the best of their neighbors.
In a world like that, There would be no depression, No charity cases, No forgotten souls, Just love And Fellowship.
