Not at all clear what it takes
to make it in a world
where success is all numbers
and truth is strictly quality
Clearly, more is not better
I have my doubts
You’re entitled to yours
that anything better
than more of the same will happen
when the motive is just getting by
Something different is needed
of you, me and all others concerned
if we’re to get past status quo
and march in brave new directions
where no one has been
And, in all this
we must be prepared to accept
that everything possible can be done
and still, it isn’t enough
to take us where we need to go
