People Were Proud
I read and learn, trying to work out
the problems of the world
trying to develop solutions
to overcome world problems
Are my ideas financially viable
if we teach people to become investors
building desalination plants
can they make a reasonable profit
would it be cost effective
to build desalination plants
to take water our to farmers
can we build an effective system
Irrigating the land
from desalination plants
would overcome problems
stopping farms from being dependant on rain
would produce more food for the community
week after week farmers fight against drought
sometimes the rain comes
and they feel better
but with climate change
the droughts last longer
think big start small
teaching the workers
to become an investors
building one desalination plant
at a time one small step for man
one giant leap for mankind
Irrigating the land
so farmers are not
dependant on rain
would see people
overcoming other problems
taking fresh water out of the ocean
could help reduce
the chemical imbalance of the ocean
the melting north and south pole
are filling the ocean with fresh water
taking fresh water out of the ocean
might help to keep the balance of nature
Using the media to stand up and shout
This is what we are doing about climate change
these are the solutions we are creating
to overcome the problems of the future
Could see world leaders standing up to say
we are going to overcome world poverty
by creating jobs for all the worlds people
we are going to teach
working people to become investors
creating wealth for themselves
investing in clean world technologies
solar power, forestry, farms
Investing in companies
that make a profit, creates wealth
for the working people
and jobs for the unemployed
when people have money
shops and factories
have customers
creating a balance
between the needs
of rich and poor
The rich need customers
for their companies to be successful
The poor need wages and money
to feed their families
as a world we all need each other
to be successful
Its been a long time
since people were that proud
the world leaders, build their
reputations on their achievements
I am only one person
one person can't change the world
but a world full of people working together
can change the world
You the other six billion people in the world
you can change the world
you can overcome poverty and climate change
working together you can change the world
