I wish you could see all the things in my mind.
Like a world filled with laughter ...
Folks caring and kind.

No cause for sickness or fighting or need.
A contented place ...
where kindness takes lead.

Those five letters they don't make a sound.
That horrible word ...
no where to be found.

That stigma, just isn't known at all.
That terrible trait ...
No longer our fall.

Those horrible, ruthless people, that will only feed.
Five letters consuming our hopes and our dreams ...
A disease killing all of us, a disease called ... greed.

Without them around, all is at peace.
This place in my mind ...
where contentment won't cease.

I wish you could see it.
All hand in hand ...
Mankind, working together across every land.

This place in my head.
It's not as far as you'd think.
As all of time goes, we could be there in a blink.

For we are the humans on top of the hill.
We've been given the greatest gift ever known ...
the power of free will.

If we gave up money and the chase it ensues ...
If we just cured greed ... made it all go away ...
our silly race could stop paying it's dues.

If we would simply stop this "trickle down" effect.
If all the shareholders couldn't demand more and more money ...
it would bring this country correct.

Glorious indeed.
I wish you could see it.
It is my hope, I've now planted that seed.

For God's sake ...
For your Children's sake ...
For all of our sake's ...

STOP the madness!
If all the shareholders stopped demanding more money and more money, we could financially heal ... ALL OF US. But as long as this madness goes on, their quest for "more" will slowly bring this country to it's knees.

REMEMBER THAT I SAID THAT.

As their thirst grows, companies are forced to increasingly give less and charge more ... a dangerous and frightening bubble that will inevitably burst.

This could be solved with something SO simple, you wouldn't BELIEVE it.

All you have to do is take away the VOTES that come with shares. These votes give these filthy pigs the ability to DEMAND more money from a Company that is not a living being. It has no soul with which to realize what it is doing is wrong. It just does what it is told by the "voters".

Take that away ... MAKE companies behave as "Success Driven" and NOT "Profit Driven" entities. Because, no matter how you look at it, with "success" comes profit. Make  the share holders be SILENT partners that take their dividends and live in peace. Deny their ability to demand MORE AND MORE each year and this stigma that is destroying us will go away ...

Just like THAT!

THINK about it ...
