Men and Giants

In a land of little men, not a thing changes
The problems are too big and the men too small
The dearth of character abounds as its depth diminishes
The interests of men dominates any interest in men
This is the way of the little man and this is his land

The sadness of little men however lies elsewhere
For some were born strong and brave
others born with a fire deep and a fire hot
Birthed with the dreams for ten generations after
Carrying the hope of ten generations before

Then these men settled,
They saw rights above responsibility
They embraced freedoms with no consequence
They accepted the limitations of lesser men
They did not test the truth peddled by the dullard
They did not question the vision of the dreamless
They did not search the heart of the cold
They did not dare do battle with those that held the gates

Listen now little man , a reckoning is at hand
We have heard of a generation of giants
Beating with the heart of their fathers
Carrying the hopes of their mothers
Crying the tears of their sisters
living the dreams of their unborn sons
Listen close little man, a battle is near
For justice and peace
For dignity and truth
For the inheritance of this land
For it is a time for change!

The world is getting better

I tell you the world is getting better
It is bigger, stronger, faster, smarter
I tell you the world is getting better
Less children dying and mothers crying
I would tell you the world is getting better
But you would not believe me

Yet again I tell you the world is getting better
There is less polluting and more conserving
More healing and less sickness
I have more and so do you
I will get more and so will you
I have told you the world is getting better
But do not believe me

It is more important to know that the world can do much better
