This is fun! Be an activist through creativity, wit, humor and positive communication. Write a ballad on the lyrics or music of a common song and share it with us. We would appreciate your poetry to engage with our sustainocratic core values, the positiveness and cocreation even if you use humor and criticism as vehicle.
One of our partners, Barry Kort, produced already many and shared a few examples to tease us:
Flow, flow, flow your code
Gently down the bitstream
Verily, verily, verily, verily
Your Life Is On the Screen
This is an easy one, no matter how genius the transformed lyrics. A more complicated one (switch on the song of Simon and Gartfunkel beneath the lyrics, while reading the transformed lyrics of Moulton Lava) is this one, equally genius.
Now, with these creative examples, we challenge you to create your own. We are preparing the launch of our World Happiness Bird live radio where we will try to make the ballad challenge into a returning block in the programme. Inspire the world with your words….

World Happiness Bird 
Here is a song parody from 5 years ago that can readily be edited to become the theme song and lead-in for the hosts of World Happiness Radio.
For example, this is how I would revise the first verse …
When you’re confused and troubled
and you need someone who’ll care,
and no one, no one seems to be right,
just tune in here and call for cheer,
and soon we’ll be on the air
to let you smile even in darkest night.
Title: “You’ve Got a Friend”
Artists: The Singing Grandmothers
Composer: Carole King and Amis Créatifs
Based On: “You’ve Got A Friend” ~ Carole King
