history lesson

Down thru time man has imagined how he wants the world to be
it started with God who created you and me and every blade of grass
what chance did we have when man was so busy organizing eveything
political systems ideas huntas juntas dictatorship democracy freedom
Yes men were planning plotting climbing the cooperate ladder  and
we were washing the clothes making the dinner planting the corn
raising the babies sweeping the floor making the bread cleaning
cleaning the corners of dust and grime and sprouting the beans
man was dressing himself in garments of gold ripping the earth
making the weapons of mass destruction experimenting plotting
making war on each others making countries building empires
We were taking  out the compost to build new soil tilling the earth
making curtains and sewing bits of cloth for something new to wear
we asked for nothing and we begged for food to feed the children

If men would spend the day making bread and washing clothes
we would know peace in the world if man became a vegetarian
we would have simplicity and generosity and graciousness
