Unite
(专辑: Circus In The Sky - 2013)
I'm sorry, but I
don't want to be an emperor. That's not my business. I
don't want to rule or conquer anyone. I
should like to help everyone if possible Jew, Gentile, black man, white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other's happiness not by each other's misery. We don't want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the
good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The
way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the
way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the
world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.... The
aeroplane and the
radio have brought us closer together. The
very nature of these inventions cries out for the
goodness in men cries out for universal brotherhood for the
unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the
world millions of despairing men, women, and little children victims of a
system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people. To those who can hear me, I
say do not despair. The
misery that is now upon us is but the
passing of greed the
bitterness of men who fear the
way of human progress. The
hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the
power they took from the
people will return to the
people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. Soldiers! Don't give yourselves to brutes men who despise you enslave you who regiment your lives tell you what to do what to think and what to feel! Who drill you diet you treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the
love of humanity in your hearts! You don't hate! Only the
unloved hate the
unloved and the
unnatural! Soldiers! Don't fight for slavery! Fight for liberty! In the
17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: “the Kingdom of God is within man” not one man nor a
group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the
people have the
power the
power to create machines. The
power to create happiness! You, the
people, have the
power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a
wonderful adventure. Then in the
name of democracy let us use that power let us all unite!
