Unity (口白) - There's a Light
I'm sorry but I don't want to be 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 all want to live by each other's happiness
Not by each other's misery
We don't want to hate and despise one another
In this world there is room for everyone
And the 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
Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed
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
Millions of despairing men women and little children
Victims of a system that makes men
Torture and imprison innocent people
To those who can hear me I say
Do not despair
The misery that is now upon us
Is but the passing of greed
The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
The hate of men will pass and dictators die
And the power they took from the people
Will return to the people and so long as men die
Now liberty will never perish
Soilders
Don't give yourselves to brutes
Men who despise you and 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 as cattle
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
Only the unloved and the unnatural
Soilders
Don't fight for slavery fight for liberty
In the seventeenth chapter of Saint Luke it is written
The kingdom of God is within man
Not one man nor a group of men
But in all men in you the people
You the people have the power
The power to create machines
The power to create happiness
You the people have the power
To make life free and beautiful
To make this life a wonderful adventure
Then in the name of democracy let's use that power
Let us all unite
