With Ask What You Can Do For Your Country

With ask what your can do for your Country many may agree
Though this does sound quite nationalistic to me
A saying that does have it's roots in patriotic pride
Since so many people for their Country fighting in wars have died

But ask what you can do for your aged widowed neighbor her husband long dead
Living quite poor on a pension with tough times of her ahead
By mowing her overgrown garden you could help her in this way
Out of the goodness of your heart without asking for pay

Ask what you can do for your Country may seem full of insight
But to cynical me it just does not seem right
I ask what you can do for those who are doing it tough
Who are hungry and homeless and sleeping rough

With ask what you can do for your Country many would agree Worldwide
And many who have loved their Country fighting for it in wars have died
But you can love your Country by helping those of your help in need
And on so doing for your future good Karma you are planting the seed.
