Invest

Build wealth, build jobs,
people investing together,
you have work
be thankful

somebody took the risk
creating your job
so why don't you
also invest

create the jobs 
so that other's might become
thankful
you do not need to change

you do not need to leave your job
just invest creating work for others
creating wealth for yourself
creating better future's

the poor inheriting the earth
18,000 children die from starvation
give their parents jobs
overcome poverty

Create wealth for yourself
you do not need to be the manager
you do not need to be the leader
just invest ten dollars per week

that's my message to the world
invest and make jobs
overcome poverty
creating wealth for yourself

company's break the poverty cycle
give a man a job and he's not broke
give a person a job
and they can feed their family

If everybody that was working 
invested in creating jobs
how long would it take
to overcome poverty.

Hopefully the world will listen, and perhaps one day we'll win the war against poverty, I've done what I can, I've given the world solutions, now I prey it's up to them. hopefully people will work together, save together and build a better world. to buy a MacDonald's, costs 1.5 million dollars, I would never have the money to buy that, but if you have one point five million people, it costs a dollar each, provides job for twenty or thirty people and becomes an investment, for the people. we are all people that need work, to feed our family's, we should be creating work for everybody, by creating wealth for ourselves.
