—Solutions—
Permit me, my dear friends
To share this bit of insight
A tendency of mankind
That troubles me so greatly.
No doubt the world is plagued
by problems everyday.
Issue after issue
Arising everywhere.
Must we focus on these?
Drive ourselves to despair?
Say ‘that’s the way the world is’,
And accept resignation?
Worst news are the most heard
Good events as quiet as the good themselves.
We focus on problems
On the issues of life
Let’s take a turn instead
And focus on solutions.
Oh, yes, I know,
You’ve heard this before!
‘Positive thinking’, ‘Mind over matter’,
‘Living in the future, forgetting the past’.
But I say it does the trick!
It changes everything!
Despair becomes hope,
Resignation disappears.
Can the world really never change?
I believe that it can!
Call me naïve,
No problem, I agree!
No matter what you say
I insist good can persist!
We can all be different
We can all be good.
Forget the past, let’s start anew.
What if we all loved one another?
What if there was no greed?
What if we shared all resources together
At the point of everyman’s needs?
I know it’s hard to imagine
Seems like playing the fool.
But I say to you,
All that will change
When we focus on solutions.
