You have your Jordan and its dilemma. I have my Jordan and its beauty.
Your Jordan is an arena for men from the north and the south..the east and the west.
My Jordan is a shcool playground vibrant of boys and girls playing around a flag pole.
You have your Jordan and its people. I have my Jordan and its people.
Yours are those who confine themselves in clans or hang their souls in lost loyalties.
Those are the children of your Jordan.They are scattered like desert sands…dry like barren rocks.
Let me tell you about the children of my Jordan.
they are venerable like an olive tree..blooming like a young iris.
They are abundant like a winy vineyard and blessed like a sacred river.
Those are the childen of my Jordan. They are solid yet colorful like an ancient mosaic.
You Have Your Jordan and I Have My Jordan.

Aha, no wonder it sounded so great, thought it was all yours.
But what are you talking about? I would say it stroke a chord anyway …
