There is enough food on this planet
to feed everyone.
So no one should go hungry.
There is enough space on this planet
for everyone.
So no one should be homeless.
Everyone should have access to a
good education & be able to fulfil
their dreams.
So why on earth is this not the case?
Why are the same opportunities not
given to all of the human race?
The reason for this is simple & clear.
It’s due to misuse of power, greed & fear.
It’s due to selfish individuals letting
their ego’s drive them on.
Only thinking about what’s in it for
them.
Judging themselves superior to
everyone else.
and not sharing their wealth
to help others.
Only acting out of stealth.
Forgetting we are all one.
That if one person suffers then
we all suffer.
This is the truth.
Forgetting to take only what we
need from mother earth.
Acting with their head instead
of their hearts.
They need to wake up & come out
of the dark.
And start giving to others
without expecting anything back.
So we can live in a planet where no
one goes hungry or homeless.
And we use our gifts & talents
To lead happy & fulfilling lives.
To help ourselves & others.
Which makes us all rich.
And no one is poor.
The word no longer exists.
And we take only what we
need from the earth.
This is the only way to live.
Otherwise there will be no
future to give
to our children.
As we would have destroyed ourselves
& the earth.
The time to change is now.
Ask how may I serve mankind
Instead of what will I get.
This is the only way to live your
life.
To guarantee a future free of
trouble & strife.
And live a peaceful golden filled
life.
Where we are all rich because we
remember that we are all one.
