We all want better safety,
peace, prosperity and health
and to live our best lives
no matter what our wealth
Do we want to be that city on a hill,
where all of us truly matter
or a sad, collapsed empire
where the fat cats just get fatter
Will we become the refugees?
The asylum seeking masses
who let power, greed and divisiveness
destroy our selfish asses
It probably won’t get that bad
and probably won’t happen soon?
So why buy guns and ammo
and post hateful cartoons?
There is tension all around us
feels like we're on the brink
From sea to shining sea,
purple mountains may just sink
I can’t hate you and you can’t hate me
and expect America to survive
This happened once. It didn’t end well.
We need to keep democracy alive
That means anyone or anything
that weakens democracy’s power
needs to be replaced or reformed
and monitored every hour
Separation of Powers, Checks and Balances,
Fundamental Human Rights
To what and whom are threatening these,
that’s where we take the fights
Freedom of speech, choice, assembly,
the press and religion
Whatever limits the expression of these
is a source of our division
Equity, Justice, Rule of Law
and UNRESTRICTED access to vote
Correcting what blocks the flow of these,
that’s our antidote
We control the narrative
now more than it’s ever been
A habit forms in 30 days,
each day’s practice syncs it in
So, before you say it, ask yourself,
“Am I saying this to build him up?”
Before you do it, self reflect,
“Am I doing this to fill her cup?”
Say “Thank You” and really mean it
every morning as you wake up
Ask “What’s my purpose?”
till you no longer have to make up
reasons why you hate yourself.
Then live on purpose, don’t break up
commit to let love take us up
to a better YOU-SA
learning to love all of itself.
Can I count on you to practice this
for 30 days and then
You’ll speak love, do love, live love
and that’s the only way we’ll win!
So since we've tried so many things
except the habit above
Let's use our power to unify
and start asking "How Bout Love?"
Join us on this journey to a better America
Be inspired and reminded to create a more perfect union
