Genuflect - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

Let's genuflect
With disrespect
To those we think
Are circumspect
It's life
And love
The cost of living
Our hopes
And dreams
The act of giving
Let's obfuscate
About faith and fate
And marginalize
That which we hate
It's life
And love
What makes us whole
Our hopes
And dreams
Our self-control
Let's comprehend
And make amends
And cast our love
To all our friends
It's life
And love
To those we declare
Our hopes
And dreams
A future to share
Let's proclaim
Our desire's the same
And seek the positive
With which we claim
Our life
And love
A world of peace
Our hopes
And dreams
Of sweet release
