The way of life can be beautiful
But we have lost the way
Greed has poisoned men's souls-has barricaded the world with hate; has goosed- stepped us into misery and bloodshed
We think to much and feel so little
More than machinery we need humanity
More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness
Without these qualities, life would be meaningless and all would be lost
Don't fight for slavery, fight for liberty
You are not machines
You are not cattle
You have the love of humanity in your hearts
In this world there is room for everyone and the earth is rich and can provide for everyone
We all want to live by each other's happiness...
...not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise each other
We all want to help each other, human beings are like that
You the people have the power...
...the power to create machines...
...the power to create happiness.
You the people have the power to make life free and beautiful...
...to make this life a beautiful adventure
We are all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral decisions.
Some on a grand scale.
Most of these choices on lesser points
But we define ourselves by the choices we have made.
We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices
Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly.
Human happiness does not seem to have been included in the design of creation
It is only we, with our capacity of love that give meaning to the indifferent universe.
