We could
There are 8.2 billion people in the world
If we all invested ten dollars each every week
We could create employment
For every unemployed person in the world
parents with fair wages
can feed their families
overcoming both poverty
and starvation
Every country would benefit from
increased tax revenue
Well, the extra wages
decreased cost of benefits
making every government's
budget profits better
meaning they could improve education,
health, and pensions
If we add to that using
the brains of the country
to put forward investment ideas
Then we could direct that investment
to create sustainable greenhouse products
That improves our world,
We could decide to have fewer children
So we don't overpopulate
the world and create a world
That can sustain our existence
allowing other animals
to also have room to live,
Working together,
We can use our imagination
To create everything we want
We are only limited
by what we can imagine
