INDIVIDUALS we be…
They are in an awful hurry to take sides
Opinion against opinion – doth arise
But they all look the same to my eyes
Just different variations on a theme
All races have eyes – that makes ‘em the same
All have noses ears and backsides
Seem the same to me
i.e. outwardly we recognise.
However inwardly –
all humans can be a surprise
Personalities differ from troop to troop
If I ever meet two the same – I’ll keep you in the loop
‘Cause you see – you ain’t me – and I ain’t you
And if you want to be me – I’m afraid
there’s nothing you can do.
You are – who you are – who you are – is a surprise
by what you come-out-with from inside
And only as I hear your friendly greeting
Will the experience be a pleasant meeting
‘Peace man!’ My generation used to say
Is peace what you are looking for today?
Let’s tolerate – we won’t all agree
But I’ll treat you with respect – if you treat me…
To a cup of coffee or a cup of tea.
Perhaps one of these days we’ll get to have a cup of tea together. Hoping to make it there in the next few years.
