how so much more
so much fuller
so much better
could and would life be
if only, yes if only
if We the people
had
information
right there
before us
to learn
to readily become
better educated
experiencing more fully
the individuality of
an enriched curiosity
and the treasures
that creativity bestows ~
if We the people
had
transportation
to go here and there
wherever needed
or especially wanted
increasing productivity
and promptness
not only in work
but in play as well ~
if We the people
had
health care
to assist and to mend
bringing healing
and hope to all those
from the young to the old
brightening spirits
through the
lessoning of worry
as to ache and pain ~
if We the people
had
housing
a place to live
get a way from it all
a safe haven
where everyone
can find rest
and be rejuvenated
children can be encouraged
and nurtured
by experiencing
the family bond
if We the people
had
energy
at everyone’s
beck and call
at one’s disposal
adding to the ease
the convenience
allowing for the time
for those things deemed
more important
more special
worthy or valuable to
the living of everyday life
how so much more
so much fuller
so much better
could and would life be
if only, yes if only
if We the people
had
if all these things
information,
transportation,
health care,
housing
and energy ~
were to the people
more freely assessable
and affordable
wherefore overtime
if We the people
given the chance
the opportunity
for the people
to become less needy
to become
not so much the taker
however more
the contributor
whose acts
whose deeds
whose novelty
sweat,
blood and tears
became known
as what was those things
brought forth
as beneficial for
the people by the people
thereafter helping
to sustain and preserve
the survival of the people ~
rather than
instead of all these things
information,
transportation.
health care,
housing
and energy
remaining
going on being
centered around
squandered away
during the pursuit
that quest
called self-interest
for only the personal gain
only the prize
acquired by the select
the fortunate
given as a birthright
to the privileged few
peace out
