This holy land
of Pacitan
produced a man
& family clan
that does not seek
to reek with wealth
but builds the self
of inner health
strong in the song
the soul must speak:


“We can,
we can,
we can.”

Wisdom isn’t hidden.
It is in us
& can spin us
out of ignorance
to grin & dance
& learn to get
our true selves set
in love so deep
our growth will speak:

“We can!
We can!
We can!”
