I'm sorry but I don't want to be here 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 want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
In this world there is room for everyone
And the good 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
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
Gread as mens souls
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
You have the love of humanity in your hearts
You don't hate only the unloved hate
The unloved and the unnatural
Soldiers don't fight for slavery
Fight for liberty
In the cemetry just look at yourself
The kingdom of girls
Within men
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
To make this life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Then in the name of democracy
Let us use that power
Let us all unite
