With social graces I’ve played the fool
Expecting we are purveyors of the golden rule
Despite my failures in past relations
We hold some people in our hearts
Disregarding our lamentations
The outcome is not contingent
And repeat I would do it again
To give of yourself
I would not have to pretend
After decades of experience
I’ve rendered some conclusions
Without contradiction
Without any delusions
I only speak for myself
And so I say
This works for me
With no dismay
I know I am different
Take ego out of self and you will see
The intrinsic value to share
Sometimes we can overcome reciprocity
Always use reason
Take care guiding the soul
Don’t let surface defects
Detract you from your goal
Awareness imposes a social contract
And with this responsibility
We can heal the scars
We do have opportunity
There is no perfect world
No utopian society
Hard work and sacrifice
Overcome the ignorance and set yourself free
