If you can speak your mind Without a tone of thought towards the things you say, If you can beat people with words And blame them for the wrongs you display, If you can understand what the hurt see And turn a blind eye, If you can imagine the wars that have been fought because of you No would be left to illustrate the catastrophe, If you can make people love you Then cast out the people who state their opinion, If you can openly criticize people Then threaten the people, who try to fix the wrong done towards you, If you can proclaim your life’s path as the way to follow And then judge for any form of rebellion, If you can finally wave the white flag Will you finally accept the war reparations that are overdue, The people’s heart is yours and that’s in it Because you’ll be the face for the abusers,

If a parody by Rudyard Kipling
If you can speak your mind Without a tone of thought towards the things you say, If you can beat people with words And blame them for the wrongs you display, If you can understand what the hurt see And turn a blind eye, If you can imagine the wars that have been fought because of you No would be left to illustrate the catastrophe, If you can make people love you Then cast out the people who state their opinion, If you can openly criticize people Then threaten the people, who try to fix the wrong done towards you, If you can proclaim your life’s path as the way to follow And then judge for any form of rebellion, If you can finally wave the white flag Will you finally accept the war reparations that are overdue, The people’s heart is yours and that’s in it Because you’ll be the face for the abusers,
