Love of the Common Man

the common man keeps the world going THOUGH NOT THE LYRICS- THE CONCEPT WAS TAKEN FROM ANOTHER TODD RUNDGREN SONG - GIVE IT A LISTEN AT THE BOTTOM.

Love of the Common Man

Todd wrote so eloquently about this thought

the world is not run by princes or kings

it's not about the fancy things you bought

or the owners of gold and diamond rings

the elite who spend their time building their crown

soon pass on only to be replaced by another

the world is more than a pretty face in a gown

our world is the common man and his brother

the hard work and dedication to man the wheel

to seek a brighter future for our fellow man

nothing comes for free there is no special deal

love for each other we must give as much as we can

no one knows the future there is no crystal ball

no one truly knows the past and where it all began

this world with all it's mysteries we wish we knew it all

but this world continues on the love of the common man

That it does.......there is no such thing as a free lunch but when we have love and we are real and down to earth, then we have something good. Awesome work.

[Desert Dreamer]

You are right, none of the material things really matter in life...it is what we give.

hmmmmmmmm, Im feeling the love in this soft flowing piece.
you are so right. Its not about what you have, who you are, how much money you have, etc. It's all about the love you have and give.
Thanks David, for reminding us all to share the love that is within us with others.
Man what a better world this would be!!
Another wonderful poem David.
