Before I post the solution to all the world’s problems, a little ditty for you from 1968.
Easy to see that not much has been accomplished towards world peace and harmony since then.
I can't believe the things I'm seein’
I wonder 'bout some things I've heard
Everybody's cryin’ mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
A bad enough situation
It's sure enough getting worse
Everybody's cryin’ justice
Just as long as there's business first
Toe to toe
Touch and go
Give a cheer
Get your souvenir
People running 'round in circles
Don't know what they're headed for
Everybody's cryin’ peace on earth
Just as soon as we win this war
Straight ahead
Knock 'em dead
Pack your kit
Choose your hypocrite
You don't have to go to off-Broadway
To see somethin’ plain absurd
Everybody's cryin’ mercy
When they don't know the meaning of the word
Nobody knows the meaning of the word
— Mose Allison
Perhaps the solutions to the world's never ending difficulties lies outside of those who have created most of them...governments.
