Unity

Unity (口白) - There's a Light

I'm sorry but I don't want to be an Emperor

That's not my business

I don't want to rule or conquer anyone

I should like to help everyone if possible

Jew gentile black man white

We all want to help one another

Human beings are like that

We all want to live by each other's happiness

Not by each other's misery

We don't want to hate and despise one another

In this world there is room for everyone

And the earth is rich and can provide for everyone

The way of life can be free and beautiful

But we have lost the way

Greed has poisoned men's souls

Has barricaded the world with hate

Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed

We have developed speed but we have shut ourselves in

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want

Our knowledge has made us cynical

Our cleverness hard and unkind

We think too much and feel too little

More than machinery we need humanity

More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness

Without these qualities

Life will be violent and all will be lost

The aeroplane and the radio

Have brought us closer together

The very nature of these inventions

Cries out for the goodness in men

Cries out for universal brotherhood for the unity of us all

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world

Millions of despairing men women and little children

Victims of a system that makes men

Torture and imprison innocent people

To those who can hear me I say

Do not despair

The misery that is now upon us

Is but the passing of greed

The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress

The hate of men will pass and dictators die

And the power they took from the people

Will return to the people and so long as men die

Now liberty will never perish

Soilders

Don't give yourselves to brutes

Men who despise you and enslave you

Who regiment your lives

Tell you what to do

What to think and what to feel

Who drill you diet you

Treat you as cattle

As cannon fodder

Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men

Machine men

With machine minds and machine hearts

You are not machines

You are not cattle

You are men
