A FERRY MAN AND A FRIENDLY MAN
LET
ME be a ferry man
Who
takes people to place’
Let
me be a ferry man
Who
knows the route and trace.
Let-me-be-Lord-let-me-be…
That I may be a mace!
Let
me be a friendly man
Whom
every man embrace’
Let
me be a friendly man
Whose
love transcends all race.
LET-ME-be-Lord-let-me-be…
I want
such glorious grace!
PHANTOM WISHES
WHAT
if we
love another? And live
beneath a roof?
What if you be
my
shoulder? And I, your helping
hoof?
What if we
forgive
another? And
forget about
the wrongs? What if we
erase the borders? And
sing a common
song?
WHAT if we
bury
our bombs and
guns?
And let thunders be the
only
noise? What if we
slay violence
and crime? And embrace
virtues tight?
What if we see ourselves as one? And
make
ADAM
our father-name? What
if we
Behave
like clustered bees? And hum
around at once? WHAT if we build
a giant desk? And sit to discuss
progress? What if we begin
from
now on?
And
continue
f-o-r-e-v-e-r
more?
