Since the wheelbarrows invention Technology has changed us, Now it is in the position To destroy or save us. Without direction we'll end up In a nuclear winter poverty. We could all live like aristocracy, Back in the court of Louis XIV. Your life is what you say and do. It takes heart to care, Commitment to be true. What you take from the world God gives to you. World trade specialization Has made our existence secure. Jet age transportation Has made the world smaller. High tech communication Has reduced cultural barriers. When labor's replaced by automation, We'll be paid to be consumers. Man against man, Enemy against friend, This history of betrayal Will have a bitter end. Don't scoff at idealism, Don't idealize pessimism. An umbrella of destruction Doesn't serve as protection. Your life is what you say and do. It takes heart to care, Commitment to be true. What you take from the world God gives to you. Peace on earth, Brotherhood of man, These relligious doctrines Will be man's last stand. With insanity and hate We're holding a bad hand. It stands in the way Of our last chance. back to Spirit and Poverty spiritandpoverty.com |
