Poetry – I Do Not Believe That!

I Do Not Believe That!

It is the way it has always been.

You cannot change it.

I don’t believe that!

We will always have the poor.

You have to look after yourself.

I don’t believe that!

Build walls to protect what we have.

Keep them out.

I don’t believe that!

Some nations are better than others.

We are better than you.

I don’t believe that!

Some people are better than others.

They deserve it.

I don’t believe that!

Some believe profit before people.

That the world is there to abuse.

I don’t believe that!

I believe we have the power to bring about change. We can control our numbers. We can stop destroying nature. We can live in harmony. We can have a prosperous global society with far greater equality, where nobody is abandoned, nobody lives in sewage, nobody is a pauper.

We have just got our values wrong.

We do put profit before people.

We do not protect nature.

We are too greedy.

Billionaires and paupers – it is not the way to live.

We can change it.

We can.
