IF
If I was the king of the world would it bring me happiness? If I had a kind and beautiful, humble lady— my new girlfriend—could she take away my loneliness and sadness, and offer me peace and love? If I had a fly woman, would she be true to me or always make me jealous and blue? If I had all the gold, silver, diamonds, and treasures on earth, would I be a wild pirate or change into a sad, evil, drunken sailor?

THE POET
The poet is a child of God. He believes in a higher power. He prays and meditates, day and night. He is kind and humble, to himself and others. The love of God has lifted all his troubles and taken away all his evil thoughts and feelings about himself and the strangers around him. He is at peace with himself, and at peace with his higher power, too.

IN THE LORD’S HANDS
It is good to have money, but it can’t bring me happiness. I had a lot of it in the past, worked forty years—all my life— but with emptiness. It never lasted. I leave all my doubts and troubles in the Lord’s hands now. I’ve gotten a spiritual awakening at the end of the tunnel. I’m no longer the town drunk or stuck in an alcohol funnel. Nowadays, I’m working on myself. My health is more important than all the money on earth. I’m at peace with myself, like a baby at birth.
SAVE THE BEARS
Save the bears. Save the bears. Free the Grizzly Bears and Polar Bears. Rich women don’t care. All they want are fur coats— killing tigers, raccoons, leopards and bears. Save the bears. Save the bears. If mankind and hunters keep this up, our children and their children will see all God’s creatures disappear. Can you hear? It’s clear. Save the bears. Save the bears.
