Where do you draw the line?
Between the group you’re in
And the group who’s sin?
I really want to know.
I am curious in that way.
But some are far less curious than I.
And that is a good thing I say.
Why?
Because if everyone were equally curious
We might all die of the same untested plant
Or seek to glide from cliffs like a hawk
It could be awk
Ward
Don’t you see? Perhaps I rant.
But I really want to know:

Where do you draw the line?
Who is in your clan?
And not okay for travel ban?
And who’s so far outside
You think it good they died?
Here’s a thought you might suppose
The larger your circle you care about
The larger the family you have.
So I am more than a little curious to know:

Where do you draw the line?
Imagine if every living thing on earth
Drew a circle as large as earth
Herself and we would all be
Family.
So I really want to know:
Where do you draw the line?
What does it do to the way they look at you
When you draw a line?
What does it do to you
When they draw a line?

What if time were not a straight unbending line?
What if, instead, we create the world that is yet to be?
What if, instead, we filled a future world with love
And beauty.
So again, I am curious:
Why do you draw a line?

I always love these pieces.
