As my favorite songwriter, RAYMOND DOUGLASS DAVIES of the KINKS wrote:
Quote:
Man made the buildings that reach for the sky
And man made the motorcar and learned how to fly
But he didn't make the flowers and he didn't make the trees
And he didn't make you and he didn't make me
And he got no right to turn us into machines
He's got no right at all
'Cause we are all God's children
And he got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all
Don't want this world to change me
I wanna go back the way the good lord made me
Same lungs that he gave me to breath with
Same eyes he gave me to see with
Oh, the rich man, the poor man, the saint and the sinner
The wise man, the simpleton, the loser and the winner
We are all the same to Him
Stripped of our clothes and all the things we own
The day that we are born
We are all God's children
And they got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made
Oh, the good lord made us all
And we are all his children
And they got no right to change us
Oh, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all
Yeah, we gotta go back the way the good lord made us all

Shouldn't we view each other as equals and God's children and get over the fucking greed?
Shouldn't we allow those who, like I, want to move forward in society the chance to do so, without giving them guilt trips to work harder, STF up and do what you have to do even if it destroys everything you believe or dream.... because that rich guy over there, his dreams and the greed he blieves in mean more because he has more?
Why turn us into machines that have no dreams and hopes and desires in the name of fucking money? Is money your God?????? Is money going to save you from a severe natural disaster or when you need your fellow man's help and they turn their back on you because you don't have enough money or because you treated them like shit because they didn't have as much as you??????
It just boggles my mind people put money over everything........ so fucking sad, to me that's a worse life than anything I will ever live.
Of course, money is just like any other drug addiction....... and some people realize it and change and find true love, hope, wisdom and courage and some die greedy with greedy fucking heirs, who never gave a fuck about them, just the money because that is what heirs were taught to care about.
