We Can Change

Mr Muldoon the prime minister of New Zealand
from 1975 until 1984 said we need to think big
but I think his ideas nearly crippled the economy
but I also believe he was right we need to think big

but I believe we should also add to this start small
instead of building too much at once 
instead of crippling economies
think big start small create budgets that will work

Wet forests don't burn
if we can't depend on the rain
we need to depend on human invention
human ingenuity, think big start small

Instead of putting the ambulance 
at the bottom of the Clift
build the fence at the top
build desalination plants 
bring water out to the arad land

close to the ocean 
reclaim the land turning it into fertile land
slowly overtime keep build until irrigated farms 
are no longer dependant on nature

We are human being we have the intelligence
to overcome our problems 
if I am only one person, coming up with these ideas,
how much more could you, the other six billion 

add to these ideas and improve on these ideas 
you have experts in science experts in management
experts in all levels of expertise and experience
using world investment

how much more can you achieve 
your world needs your ideas
in a war against poverty
in a war against climate change

we could change, industrial machines 
can run off electricity
we do not need to produce carbon waste 
we do not need to pollute our environment
