I Am Trying To Save The World
I am trying to save the world—
but the world needs to save itself;
For, I cannot save the world,
since the world needs to save itself.
I am trying to save my world—and
my world needs to be saved by myself;
For, I can save my world, because
my world can only be saved by myself.
I am still trying to save the world—but,
my world needs to be saved by myself first;
For, I can save the world—but, the world can
only be saved by my world being saved by myself.
-Paul Whiting
