Our World Is A Beautiful Place

Though children are dying in every land 
because men want to steal more living room 
for their children to prosper and succeed, 
I realize Nature is indifferent 
to whether any creature lives or dies 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though faithful believers in every land 
pray to their version of God in the Sky 
to bless their nation with prosperity, 
I realize no god floating on the clouds 
can hear or act upon their fervent prayers 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though clever men in every crowded land 
assert authority to rule our lives 
based on divine right bestowed by their God, 
I realize they perform their social role 
on authority of their strength to kill 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though kind shepherds in every fertile land 
defeat cruel tyrants and their gangs of thieves 
to serve Justice through liberty for all, 
I realize dynasties of their bold sons 
become tyrants who kill to rule by law 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though children born in tribes of every land 
respect each other on the school playground 
without prejudice against other kinds, 
I realize they adapt religious views 
that teach they must destroy others to live 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though solemn worshippers in every land 
adore the Holy Virgin and her Child 
who embodies perfect God of the stars, 
I realize they comply with empire goals 
to kill the families of their enemies 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though gentle saviors rise in every land 
to challenge rule of the vast police state 
and give people right to rule their own lives, 
I realize tyrants will assassinate 
messiah sleuths who dare expose their crimes 
because our world is a beautiful place. 

Though nationalist fascists in every land 
fight to conserve values their fathers contrived 
to exploit working people to gain wealth, 
I realize they will fall from height of pride 
before our United Nations of Earth 
because our world is a beautiful place.
