The Evoultion of Learning (Part Two)

As long as various people run various nations
There will forever be war
What the world needs is one leader
A common man who believes in the working class
As well as the Lord
Instead of one Nation under God
Lets make it one World under God
And just let each individual decide what he or she wishes to call that God
So I here by nominate our dear friend Vince Suzadail Jr.
The first candidate of the new world order 
He seems to have the best Political views I’ve heard
And I think he alone could do a much better job
Than all the leaders of all the nations are doing
At least I’m certain he couldn’t do any worse
And that way all the super intelligent people devising ways 
Of destroying our world
Could find something more constructive to spend their time on
Like raising a crop or milking a cow
Saving a child or helping elderly with their needs 
There are plenty of folk who need a hand
Lets all start offering them ours instead of cutting theirs off
I’m just a simple man
My actual world is very small
My family, friends and neighbors
I love you all and hope you know I’ll do anything for you I can
There is no malevolence left in me
I know how to make and use a shank, zip gun or small explosive
But I’ve learned not to
For I’ve learned to think with my heart and soul
They do a much better job than my mind
I just wish the great minds of the world
Were smart enough 
To figure out what I have
And learn to love with all of their hearts

Good thoughts and so true, greed has been directing our world, the love of money has been more popular then the people themselves. They have forgotten the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Power corrupts and power corrupts absolutely. Anyway thanks for sharing. Been a while since i was on here...Diana

Thanks Michael but I still have a lot to work out personally as I may be pro-life but I believe in a slow long death penalty for child molesters. I have no faith in "white collar" prisons.I definitely do believe that you are entitled to no human rights if you violated someone else's. I also believe people find what they are looking for. If you look for evil you find it. If you look for good in the same place, you find it. God Bless. Vince

Michael, thank you for sharing this thoughtful post. I am fully with you in the sentiments that drive your suggested solution but cannot help believe that it is a return to community (regardless of colour, creed...) rather than globalisation that we should strive for. A great write that will have me reflecting for a long time to come. Thank you for your lovely comments as always. Nigel

Michael you have raised some very valid points... and although I love Brother Vince, as it stands I could only join that one world order if it is truly governed by The Lord of all Salvation. It is agreeable that plenty of folk are in need of a helping hand and we should be willing to offer/share of ourselves in a goodly manner rather than cutting those in need off... I thank you for sharing such a thoughtful read. God Bless, Always, Adell

Michael the bible says that their will be a world leader and every one will turn to him for peace. but only trouble is, he will be the anti- Christ, and that is when every one will have 666 stamped on them somewhere in order to buy food or anything, so we don't want a one world leader unless it is Jesus Christ Himself. but the rapture will take place and all the Christians will be taken to heaven if they are born again christians. this was a good poem and well said.

this world will be ruled by the right way, but mot by man's hands, Jehovah God and Jesus Christ will be the ultimate rulers of this wordl, right now this world is in such turmoil because satan is the god of this system of things that we now live in, but only for a short while longer, then the wicked will be no more, check out 2 Corinthians 4:4

Michael excellent thought. Respect your courage and determination. You are a leader. I nominate you Michael Jordan I know you would be fair and with Jesus behind you who can be against you. God bless you for caring about your fellow man. Michael Torres

This is a heartfelt poem. I must say that I disagree with the premise of one leader because I think variety is the spice of life. Your poem exposes your heart and the shows how you care deeply. Thanks for sharing this write.
