Will You Poem by Samah Khan

Will you not walk a mile,
Where ten are asked?
Will you not hold on to the line
Over which the rest have surpassed?
Will you not hold the end of the tail
Of a generation gone bad?
Will you not be the vaccine that saved
The world that the Kings once had?

Will you not feed the poor and protect the rich?
Ask wisdom of men and purity of soul?
Will you not propagate the Message of God and man
And their relationship that makes one whole?
Will you not love thy neighbor and conciliate with your foe?
Use what you have and learn what you do not know?

Will you not liberate the innocent and imprison the shrewd?
Will you not praise the child and tolerate the imprudent?
Will you not lend a helping hand to aid a friend?
Will you not lend a listening ear to the protesting (fraught) student?

Ask God for nothing but Hope and Faith
And you might be able to change the world
Ask King Midas the value of riches and (spiritual) treasure
And your touch might change copper to gold
