A Song With No Music (In 3/4 Time)
Poetry By Will Dugan (Originally published under the Pen Name of Blind Melon Ugly Dude)

I'd like to say - we can all live together
Our differences noted
Not causing a fall
I'd like to think - we can be what we must be
Yet know that our own way is not right for all

I'd like to work for a better tomorrow
By doing the right thing
Right here
Right now
But one person's right thing -
To another's the wrong thing
My heart, soul and conscience is struggling with how

How can we find common ground for good living
For all to enjoy
All that is there
The basis for all of our rules for good living
Should acknowledge the blessings are meant to be shared

I'm prone to dreaming and looking for answers
The questions I ponder
Have answers I pray
Yes, I say a prayer that we'd all ask hard questions
And our soul-sought solutions would dawn a new day

The dawn of a new day where love is pervasive
Compassion and kindness
And tolerance true
Where minds have a meeting to iron out our problems
And I'm sure that it must start with me and with you
