If politics was left to the poet
This world would make less sense
Yet it would work
In such a beautiful way
If justice was left to the philosopher
This world would be less unknown
Yet it would work
In such a safe way
If economics was left to the painter
This world would have less wealth
Yet it would work
In such a colorful way
If war was left to the philanthropist
This world would have less force
Yet it would work
In such a giving way
If ministry was left to the photographer
This world would be less ordered
Yet it would work
In such a bright way
In short, if the world was left to the people
People who know the joy of purpose
And the joy of meaninglessness
The people who know passion
Yet know how to think
And understand when not to
This world could be better than cold
