I Am Ashamed That People Are So Simple
I am ashamed that people are so simple
To offer war when we should kneel for peace
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway
When everything but love must die away
Why are our bodies finite, bound for dust
The time we share so brief and yet, so dear
If not to teach our proud and stubborn hearts
To love the best we can while we are here
Soulmates, hold your temper and humbly put
Your hand 'neath the sole of your lover's foot
In token of which duty, if he please
My hand is ready
Ready
May it do him ease
To offer war when we should kneel for peace
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway
When everything but love must die away
Why are our bodies finite, bound for dust
The time we share so brief and yet, so dear
If not to teach our proud and stubborn hearts
To love the best we can while we are here
Soulmates, hold your temper and humbly put
Your hand 'neath the sole of your lover's foot
In token of which duty, if he please
My hand is ready
Ready
May it do him ease
