Foundations of Democracy
Where all people are to be free
Built upon corrupt fallacy
To treat all people equally
While some are chained in slavery
Lies steeped high in hypocrisy
What nation will be strong and grow
When seeds of disparity sow
From a rotten core we all know
Divine blessings will never flow
Great suffering brings only woe
Without change our treasures forego
What really matters in the end
Is what we do and not pretend
All wrong-doing reprehend
Misguided ways we must amend
Awaken now and comprehend
With loving-kindness now transcend
Blessings will flow to those in kind
Always take heed and bear in mind
With love and respect treasures find
To social justice be aligned
Equality to all assigned
No person lost or left behind
Nature from which all life sustains
Nourishment that runs in our veins
We must care for all that remains
Variety within all strains
Essential keys that link all chains
Upon fertile ground our love rains
Only energy you will take
When on the other side you wake
Is love that in this life you make
Negativity you must shake
Determine what is real or fake
Dive deeply into pure love’s lake
To live up to “In God We Trust”
Honesty within is a must
Greed leads only to boom and bust
Control, another form of lust
With loving-kindness we will thrust
Into a future fair and just
So rise up now and take a stand
To purify our sacred land
To all the needy give a hand
Together in love we must band
United let freedom expand
A peaceful world we must demand
Whether or not this comes to be
Do not give up and you will see
That in your heart you will be free
To bathe in love’s eternal sea
In all dimensions you’ll decree
That you have found life’s sacred key
