World Leader Respect

I can understand why Harry and Meghan
want to leave the royal fold
to get away from media abuse 
to get away from public scrutiny 

People want a life, children want freedom
yet royalty also wants respect 
fighting for the just cause of overcoming poverty,
Improving the world's environment

could be used to gain respect for royalty 
and the leaders of the world
protestors worldwide are behind a push
to overcome environment problems 

linking people together 
getting them to become investors 
in world environmental concepts
would see the world come together

protestors and leaders
fighting for the same cause
building respect for both groups,
respect for the world's leaders

and environmental protestors
building jobs worldwide could 
gain respect for the world's leaders 
worldwide respect for all the world countries

Might see a world pathway
that leads to peace
third world countries watch on 
as American children run riot

as American prisons and streets 
run riot with drugs, crime, and abuse
respect is lost and people rise 
believing they can do better

The worlds wars are created 
through conflicting needs
conflicting beliefs
people believing they know better

but people follow leaders 
they can respect
If we as a world can build leaders respect
maybe they can lead us to peace
