When

When thoughts can bring a rain of tears
And sophistry explain your pears
Then we have faltered in our goal
And added nothing to our soul

When words bring naught but thought distain
And war has caught the minds insane
We cannot bring the earths release
And stop the war in lease of peace

How many lives must feed the mill?
To bring about a common will
And how much time the core to buy
To bring about this butterfly

And each of us awaits the day
This butterfly will fly away
To settle on a flowers grace
And fall into that time and place

And so I ask for common will
To pay the common of the bill

Good morning, Mr. T.!

You be a butterfly who has paid his fare share!
