Utopia
Yeah can nay make a better world
by killing all the people
Stalin
Marx
Hitler
Lenin
All felt that the ends justifies the means
Marx and Lenin wanted to build utopia
a world where all the people
had food and enjoyed life
Hitler wanted to build a world
where all sickness
or disabilities where gone
yet the ends do not justify
the means
you can not build a better world
by killing all the people
You can build a better world
with education and investment
they say within the next twenty years
thirty eight percent of the workforce
will be replaced by robots
but that means thirty eight percent
of the workforce wages will be gone
less customers for shops
Less people
that can afford to buy products
Yet if we teach people to become
investors perhaps dividends
can replace wages
What a world we could have
machines doing the work
well people get to live a play
Nature is showing us
what we are doing wrong
overpopulation can be controlled
by human education
people that want careers
put off having families
careers and investment
build better lives
Look after your pennies
and your dollars
look after themselves
your unemployed and starving
are your pennies
teach them to have careers
and your country gains more tax
your companies gain more customers
and your people build
their individual utopias
nobody can tell you
what to do with your life
that choice is up to you
yet we can learn from each other
we can learn from what makes people happy
we can learn how to overcome anger
how to destroy hatred
education is the path to success
you can't wait for others to help you
you must learn to help yourself
if a millionaire gives a million people
one dollar each he has nothing left
but if a million people invest
one dollar each that's a million dollars
jobs and futures for the unemployed
you want to overcome
the devastation of the corona virus
you want to rebuild the world economy
teach the people that are working
to become investors
building jobs for people out of work
creating investment and profit for themselves
overcoming unemployment and starvation
building a utopia does not work by killing people
education is the path, to individual
and the worlds success
we all need to learn
how to build our own utopia
