State of War
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...
Soldiers! don't give yourselves to brutes
men who despise you
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 like cattle,
use you 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!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written:
"the Kingdom of God is within man".
not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men!
In you!
You, the people have the power, the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power...
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...
Soldiers! don't give yourselves to brutes
men who despise you
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 like cattle,
use you 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!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written:
"the Kingdom of God is within man".
not one man, nor a group of men, but in all men!
In you!
You, the people have the power, the power to create machines.
The power to create happiness!
You, the people, have the power...
