03 divided state

 

The third Miles the Brave and Max the Great is about to start

You will need to be thinking with your mind and your heart

Not easy even if you’re exceptionally smart

When something composed combines science and art


It began with a tough conversation out of frustration

About universal needs for good education 

For building nations of solid foundation

The result was to build a prestigious university

It’s mission inclusion and diversity

An alternative to singularity and its perversity 

With teachers and features for everyone

All students are accepted no gaming to be done

But even still, we need more than one


Miles and Max still wide awake

In the country I call home there is ache and heartbreak 

The severity our nation's bleeding 

So many lost souls in search of utility, purpose and meaning


The least we can do is give them good reading and feeding

To eat sweets is not complete - just a treat

They created Jakes Shakes and Pancakes 

And it is lacking completeness

In time, it’s design will fill souls with sweetness 

 

Back in the lab in Oslo they’re making special cider 

For politicians working to make gaps less wider

It will be available for everyone at most bars

And served from you know those hipster jam jars

Seriously, these ciders will eliminate dividers

For a while its been cooking 

And its very good looking

In time we won’t have haves and have nots

We won’t need full glasses, just take a few shots



What about all our things, let’s discuss

Do you think we own them or do you think they own us?

So much we accumulate just to impress

Cleverly disguised as another source of stress

The KonMarie method is known for life changing magic

And lives of people with castles of hassle transformed and less tragic

Before you become the buyer of a shiny new object of desire

Remember Marie before you aquire 

Reconsider, rethink, all that stuff and the kitchen sink

At your address, less is more and more is less


If you’re healthy, you’re wealthy on Planet Earth

Don’t underestimate the value of its worth

We’re only just visiting, just temporary guests

We must find a life design where east meets west

 

This tension between to be and to do

Miles and Max have brewed love into glue

They’ve been hard at work testing this blue goo

Needs some more hours to to see it through

Quite promising in beta, yes it’s true


Miles and Max are working hard in all kinds of weather

Surprisingly building bridges not walls together

And all of that goo and glue they’ve been brewing

Has been quite useful for repairing damage leaders are doing


But wait there is still much more they are pursuing

In the lab they have test tubes and pots stewing

They’ve captured emotional storms of lightning and thunder

 Added chemicals turning them into joy and wonder

In the sinks you can see flasks with labeled drinks“desire to inspire” served up in fire

“Attitude of gratitude” for any latitude

“patience and virtue” 

and “no one can hurt you”

 

Nearby, in a building quite high

They’re pioneering the latest in needles and thread

Nations indivisible need invisible and invincible infrared

To repair the fabric of society with great people of variety

The workers with skill and compassion, sew things not for fashion

Our nations relations need much more salvation

Without words spoken

They’re quietly fixing the broken

Restoring pride for all sides

Repairing tears and divides 


Up in the sky, the Miles is flying one of his planes

Visibility is poor due to the rain

Beginning to question his direction 

He thinks something is wrong based on his recollection

The coasts become visible but in between the land is hardly seen

This understanding prepares for him instrument landing 

 

This last story that has been out of order

Is meant to be repeated at least once a quarter

For our sons or daughters

Next time it’s ok to skip lines to make it shorter


Miles and Max, we’re following your spirit

I’m telling for all of us to hear it

Great brilliance requires patience and resilience 

Expect fails, derails and solutions that don’t scale

Just keep going without certainty or knowing 


It’s our responsibility and duty

To preserve grace and beauty

To care for the earth and her guests

Good luck with the mission, with love all the best
