Our Solution

New Year is coming, how exciting.
The bell is ringing every day.
We all make plans and resolutions.
But will we follow? Ask us again.
.
Best Buy and Publix, Macy's,Target, 
Already had us in their scope.
And now shooting better pockets,
To make sale numbers for the year ahead.
.
Hanukkah, Christmas - can we even say it?
To be completely politically correct.
What's next - the Jesus? Someone can get offended.
Lets call him Muhammad, from Nazareth.
.
American freedom. Its wonders and promise.
Is that what we fought for? Is that what's the goal?
To limit our freedom by walls built by lawyers?
It's easy to steer us, when we are controlled.
.
Or maybe the problem resides not in lawyers,
Democracy, Commies or money at all.
Or maybe it sits deep inside human nature.
To be slaves forever - until day of "call".
.
Whatever we call it - the Judgment Day? - silly.
We only have glimpses of days far ahead.
Just exited jungle. What to expect from the monkey?
So, we need to grow, or will destroy ourselves.
.
But now two stones - two philosophies, dogmas.
And people cut throats when at those extremes.
So close World War Three, but the history tells us - 
That it's gonna be nothing, but another crusade.
.
Some people read Bible, some people go vote, 
Some blow for virgins, some making a buck.
But where's switch in conscience? That would be our answer.
Without it - futile. Without it - death.
.
What made humans human? What helped us kill Mammoth?
What got us from jungle and propelled us above?
I will tell you - not fire, that's just tool of our actions.
But to control it took something, that set us apart.
.
The Team Work - Exactly!!!
Global talk. Global conscience.
The whole Earth is screaming - expand "tribe" to planet!
Until we're apart - we are destined be slaves.
