The false belief that some are worth

more than others are

is the reason that we have

neverending war!

There’s no way that tranquillity

can ever be sustained

while massive inequality

is allowed to reign!

For anyone to have great wealth

others are deprived

of any means to maintain health

or food to just survive!

If hoarding of great wealth is banned

there’s not a single doubt

we’d have enough resources that

no one would go without!

Any income greater than

one million a year

should be redistributed

to people everywhere!

The US has been number one

in the creation

of massive inequality,

which now must be UNDONE!

We need to start here and now

and hope that it will spread

far and wide across the world

before we are all DEAD!

So ban, ban, ban all war

by stamping out its cause!

End the in-e-qual-i-ty

by revamping tax laws!
