The ringtone sounds beat against my eardrum relentlessly.
Who is this calling me? I think to myself, is this a dream?
Should I answer this call, or continue sleeping peacefully?
So I selfishly send this call to voice mail, so I can get more sleep.
When I awake I will tend to my answer machine, maybe.
The phone of life begins to ring again, more urgently.
The rings are urging me to take action and to take things more seriously.
The world is a changing place, and needs maturity to help keep it steady.
Am I ready, willing and able to take this call and this responsibility?
I hope so. I don't know how much longer I can stand the ringtone's beep,
of war, hunger, hate, discrimination, suffering and poverty.
I stare at the receiver as it demands humility and commitment from me
I fear the duty, but I also fear the resentment the world will have towards thee
If I don't wake up and answer that call and give the world what it needs...
