A Do-Over

A Do-over

To our disadvantage
Our souls have been damaged
Something went wrong with humankind
Something changed deep within our minds

Dysfunction is rampant 
There's only one way we can change
No more women pregnant
Start from scratch and try it again

This time listen to John
Share the world with no possessions
The greed and hunger gone
Wealth no longer an obsession

Money, owner and mine
Words that we will leave in the past
The hard world left behind
Peace and harmony ours at last

There's no other option
For fixing this calamity
Ending reproduction
A new start for humanity
