 ARTISANS See the good in everyone, See the bad in nobody, Know that only thus can we Build a new divinity. Analyze the source of sin, Let the chips fall where they may, But let not grim malice in, He will eat your heart away. Love your neighbor as yourself, Try to serve him in his need, Call him not an evil elf. Believe he is your friend indeed. If you smile at him and say, Hi , He’ll smile back across the way, Brother, it’s a glad, good morn . And a friendship will be born. 25
