Whisper to the World

If I could stop all The World

Each and every person in place

And hold them that way

Heart to heart, face to face

Well, what would I say

To the whole human race?

What words could I say

That would not fall to waste?

Would I tell all the world

That I love them sincerely?

Should I expect them to care?

Would The World even hear me?

Would I tell all the world

Something hopeful and fake

Something mystic and grand

Some bold lie to embrace?

Or instead, should I say

Something both sweet and bitter

Something true as a raindrop

Fell free from the weather

Something everyone knows

But nobody considers

Should I tell all The World

“I know that we can do better”?
