The Sulis Club - Confession
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
of 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 airplane 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,
liberty will never perish.
