GOOD GOVERNMENT

The kind of government that serves us best
Promotes the best of our humanity,
Envisioning that state where we’re most blessed
With knowledge, wisdom, health and sanity.

A New or Fair Deal’s good but not ideal;
It’s more than opportunity we need
To struggle and contend with equal zeal
And equal chance to exercise our greed.

The true ideal’s a commonweal in which
We recognize the whole ecology
Of species, each in its most fitting niche,
Serving the needs of all holistically.

By honoring best the Family of Life
We’ll end our ideology of strife.
