What a Wonderful World!
what a wonderful world where perfection rules
where wisdom resides in high places
where neighbors salute
and angels rejoice.
the child is patted
not broken
nor minced.
that heavenly kiss of the sun-rays
when man discards the self
and divine rights all enjoy.
that perfect day the monitoring
ceases unfettered the eagle glides.
what a noble noble day for the masses
that day
when man quits anointing himself
and every tiny person
his teeny chores enjoys!
