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
