Common Sense People
Society has set up laws
to protect different cultures
to protect different religious beliefs
to reduce the arguments
To reduce the fighting in society
everybody has different beliefs
read history and you find
Roman Christians
Attacked an killed Scottish Christians
because they celebrated rituals
at different times
in the year
Easter was celebrated
at a time different time
The Romans themselves
changed their calender's
Then attacked Christians
for having different beliefs
Catholic, Muslim, Hebrew
you all believe you are right
You all fight, trying to change the world
you were not there, you are not God
you all believe with blind faith
adamant that you have the truth
The Atheist, vegan, farmer
you all believe you are right
but you can't all right
why don't you just wait
Stop Fighting and find out from God
who was right, build Gods thrown
respect the world's leaders
Russia and America
Used to be on opposite
sides of a fence
Russia believed in Communism
America Believed in Democracy
Russia does not follow Communism
anymore they could join together as friends
becoming the leaders, the parents of the world
in a war on poverty and climate change
The only thing that stops us being successful in life
is, attitude, choice, unemployment, and poverty
60% of children, born blind in third-world countries
die within two years
Create employment and with money from tax
Governments can pay for education and medical interventions
required to overcome these problems
Stop the wars and you can build factories and farms
Wars create the refugees, the poverty and struggling
millions flee from war torn countries
Iran believes they have the air force they have the power
to fight America but what happens if you're wrong
When your factories lie
in a mountain of rubble, when people lay dead in the street
and you run from the wars in your country
becoming the refugees of tomorrow
How does that help your people
far better to come together as a planet
to make plans and create
a world of respect
Fight together the war on poverty
and climate change
your people, all people, need jobs
we should all use the brains of the world
To create employment, focus on development
reclaim arid land, creating irrigation, farming
and jobs for the people, turning people into assets,
paying tax for healthy economies
