The Needs of the World

I want an embrace

Embrace my hand, my face

Embrace my lips with your lips

Embrace my love handles while

You embrace me in your arms

 

I need a singer

Sing me to sleep, to wake

Sing our song while I’m humming

The song that made me sing

The song of life today

 

I feel you, lover

Love my soul, my temper

Love my body and my mind

Love all your fellow man

Love all and you love me

 

The world needs a leader

Lead the waltz to your tune

Lead us all into your heart

Lead the sheep to the slaughter

Lead the rat through its maze

A good poem. Direct and human with a touch of tension. I liked it.
