We Fortunate few

WE FORTUNATE FEW

 

We fortunate few who stand here to speak

In willingness to share in all that is

Good to smooth all ills with the balm of love

And kindness and brotherhood, we say on

 

To you today, Come, let us shake hands to

Entwine in unity, for we share our

Humanity; We are the same. Let us

Share our ideas and come to com-

 

Promise, give and take the best of us, and

Make our peace everlasting. Let the by-

Gones be gone. Let us march together to

The New Horizon. Let us listen, each

 

To each, and hear what the Other has to

Say. We might just surprise our selves. Have faith,

For in our bitter differences, in our

Violent tiffs, our stubborn egoism,

We CAN avoid a second civil war.

 

And what is war but a deathful fight for

Domination and submission. And yet

Our country was bsaed on, built with solid

Rock of Truth. So let us live that Truth, for

 

Is not your truth my Truth, and my Truth yours

In all things that matter? Let the god in

Us speak our Truth so to speak but one Truth.

Let Peace be unto you, my dear Brother

Let Peace guide my hand and yours in good faith.

 

This, Your country and Ours, desperately need

That Truth in these desperate times. God speed.

 

Goodby election. Hello…

 

WHAT?
