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
