Many Powerful Men
A never ending poem
Inspired by women friends
Many powerful men with compassion, want the world to change.
I know that these men together, will bring survival into range!
A few who rule our countries, have lost conscience and common sense.
Powerful men can get them to stand down. Why are these rulers so dense?
David Suzuki, scientist, zoologist, and geneticist so bold!
Wants nature to survive bad business, or many species will fold!
Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore, took carbon for his cause.
He tried to convince politicians to learn atmospheric laws.
Stephen Hawking with his genius, is astronomer extraordinare.
He investigates the universe; for the truth he has utmost care!
Paul McCartney inspires. He and the Beatles sang great songs,
Of freedom, love and peace, hoping one would right the world's wrongs!
Jimmy Carter was a president, who thought we should use less oil.
Then and now he speaks out, against all businesses who spoil!
Bruce Cockburn, militant musician, uses his guitar instead of a gun.
He sings all people are equal to him and believes we could all live as one.
Neil Young sings Living with War. He refuses to silence his voice,
For freedom for all to live and let live. Most of us have got the choice.
George Clooney is spreading the truth, through film. He wants life more fair.
He produces and acts for mankind. His good looks give me reason to stare!
Noam Chomsky, a linguist at large, shares truth about corruption most high.
Stories that intrigue and inspire us all to take less. Now I do know why.
Nelson Mandela was punished by law for standing up as a man.
He has prayed that all men be just. I am sure that white man can!
Richard Gere brought compassion and peace with Buddhist friends.
To Atlanta, Georgia, to leaders and to me. Love he defends!
Sean Connery, sexy secret agent and extraordinary gentleman,
Gives to his country and education. He can help, I know he can.
Wayne Gretzky, hockey great and family man, helps kids when he can.
Skating was passion and his joy of the thrill, for each and every fan!
David R. Ford has researched sex and drugs by nature. He and I agree
Prohibition is a stupid law. God made it, so it should be free for me.
.........
If all those above could just get together. They have right on their side.
Maybe they can stop war, poverty and abuse for all victims nations wide.
And all over the world where man has made a few mistakes and not cared.
We may have a chance to survive. So let's have PEACE ON EARTH declared!
