Ode To 6

The world would be a much better place
If everyone were to do one simple thing
That's to responsibly show up
And do what you're meant to do
That would make for an excellent foundation
A bastion of stability for all

A brilliant example immediately comes to mind
Doesn't need more than a few seconds to know
Just think of how many people sign up for stuff
Yet when the event finally arrives hohoho
Where in the world are they
Half the time they're not even here

Many will present nice fronts on the surface
But at the end of the day sigh they're shells materialless
For me it's really more commit and that's it
I say I'll come and thus there I will be... period
Yeah I know sometimes something clashes and I can't show up
But that's obviously, visibly a minority
I saw, I committed, I came

And oh, another topic quickly comes to mind
Why are so many so awful at communication
Like can't it be that if you receive a message you properly respond
Yeah sure I get that you have your life and sometimes you don't see it
But hey honestly buddy is it really so hard
To me it's just common sense straightforward

I get diversity, I get inclusivity, truly I'm all for that
But really what I want is just some basic respect
I love the principle of keep it simple stupid
Because truly as I see it it's in no way any hard
A world in which everyone follows the rules
Sounds easy but I bleakly see it as quite unattainable!

Yeah I get that maybe I'm kinda naggy
Some might call me a bit of a stickler
But really, there's not much I ask from this world
Just peace, stability, harmony, oh so basic are they!
I always want to be assured that I'm accounted for
Nothing will knock me off my feet and send me flying

And oh of course my friends – I firmly declare that I will be ride or die!
