Sitting here and wondering, watching the seasons
going by Each new answer just brings ten new
questions My eyes have finally opened Armored
human wrecks walking the streets Longing for a
leader to take away their pain We have not learned
anything

Let me live another day Without sorrow, without
shame Let me feel the wind on my face Let me feel
the sun And live my days with fun Let me sing this
hymn to life

Molesting and incest Unloving parents feeding the
oven of madness known as planet earth Love turns
into prostitution Embracing into violence
Lovemaking into fucking Greed kills our humanity,
morality our natural needs Jealousy kills the
friendship

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 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 good 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

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, liberty will never perish...

Soldiers - don't give yourselves to brutes, men
who despise you, 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 like
cattle, use you 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 -
the unloved and the unnatural. Soldiers - 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! You the people have the
power, the power to create machines, the power to
create happiness! You the people have the power to
make this life free and beautiful, to make this
life a wonderful adventure! Then in the name of
democracy let us use that power - let us all
unite!!! Let us fight for a new world, a decent
world that will give men a chance to work, that
will give you the future and old age and security.
By the promise of these things, brutes have risen
to power, but they lie! They do not fulfil their
promise, they never will! Dictators free
themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us
fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free
the world, to do away with national barriers, to
do away with greed, with hate and intolerance! Let
us fight for a world of reason, a world where
science and progress will lead to all men's
happiness.

Soldiers - in the name of democracy, let us all
unite!!!

Speech by Charlie (Charles) Chaplin (1889-1977)
from "The Great Dictator" movie
(1940)
