In humanity's garden,
despite the g.m.o weeds,
there are chestnuts of charity
radishes of rationality
and some apricots of harmony
In humanity's garden,
despite the mercenary weeds,
there are some figs of friendship
potatoes of moral purity
and apples of sound health
In humanity's garden,
there are learned bean-stalks
pumpkins of poetry
and also star-gazing sunflowers
In humanity's garden,
there are artichokes of rhetoric,
blue squash of frugality
greens of creativity
and youthful sprouts of enthusiasm
In humanity's garden,
despite the many weeds,
there are ripe tomatoes of good-will
strawberries of music
and many-colored roses of renaissance
