Dreams Of Great Men
I heard the words of great men and I too had a dream,
a dream in which the good no longer died so young,
Martin Luther King & Lennon had joined the pensioner scene,
and thus so many more joyful songs were sung.
Nelson Mandela had no years of penury in jail,
and the ideals of Gandhi were valued high above gain,
because men had learnt where cash came on the scale
of values, for life means much more to the truly sane.
Do we have to wait much longer for such days to come,
should we not all take actions needed to avoid any shame,
for the future is so close by and needs our prompt attention,
don't let our children think that their fathers were to blame.
