"Team World" - We Cannot be Outnumbered When We Live Together as One
Yes we've heard it said a thousand times, "There's No I in Team". I figure if we take that sports analogy and apply it to "Team World", we could build the most effective team of all, a United Planet.
I know, it seems so unreachable, but personally, I like how Ghandi put it; "Be The Change". Maybe we CAN be the change.
I Choose TEAM WORLD.

Where Have All the Leaders Gone
by Me, Brite-Ideas
I wrote these Lyrics around 2005 or 2006, can't recall the exact year:
Where Have All the Leaders Gone
(VERSE 1)
Beyond the sunset another child smiles
Held in her mother's arms for a while
Cuddled up with faith her guiding force
She prays to her God for the same things of course;
For leaders to lead us down a path of peace
That her baby will always have enough to eat
That her neighbors get all the help they need
And imprisoned minds will someday be freed
(CHORUS)
We sing for justice in a song
The world in disarray for so long
If right is someone else's wrong
then who'll teach us how to get along
With divide and conquer going strong
Where have all the leaders gone?
(VERSE 2)
How many questions did you ask today?
Do you believe what the media has to say?
Did your neighbor lose his job or home?
If the leaders tell him to do it alone
do you believe he should rebuild on his own?
There's no money left, sorry it's gone
Where has all the money flown?
(CHORUS)
We sing for justice in a song
The world in disarray for so long
If right is someone else's wrong
then who'll teach us how to get along
With divide and conquer going strong
Where have all the leaders gone?
(VERSE 3)
Does money define the entire earth?
How do we determine what a life is worth
Who makes the call that some live and some die?
A mother asks while she's doubled over to cry
"Why me, why us, why tell me why!
why did my child have to die!"
This pain is her prison and they still deny
that wars are built on sandstone lies
(BRIDGE TO CHORUS)
Leaders who lead us to live in peace
Who build bridges of hope without shaking their fist
Who understand we must all co-exist
and share the resources of this earth
'Cause no one owned it at its birth
who owns the moon?
who owns the stars?
is that where all the leaders are?
We sing for justice in a song
With the world in disarray this long
and right is always someone's wrong
who'll teach us how to get along
with divide and conquer going strong
Where have all the Leaders Gone?

The Bestseller by Lee Iacocca
Where Have All The Leaders Gone
Strangely enough, I wrote this poem/song around 2005 or 2006 (I'm going by memory here...hopefully that's right!)...Anyway, I then hear of this book by Lee Iacocca in early 2007..
So what the heck, here it is...I actually haven't read it yet,
I couldn't believe that my poem title is EXACTLY the same title as this book...Hey, maybe his book needs a theme song)
Your Opinion is Wanted Here!
So, Do You Think the World will Slowly Grow Together, And Get Better Over Time?
Yes, I believe that Every Generation Gets Better than the One Before and the World Gets Better not Worse
grannysage says:
I have to believe that more and more people are becoming awakened to the fact that we are all connected. I visualize the best for this world and do not focus on what is wrong with it.
Brite-Ideas says:
yes, I do feel that each generation gets kinder and a little better than the one before it - I think we slip back at times, but I still look at the world as 3 steps forward, 1 step back
No, I believe there will Always be Strife in the World and it's fairly impossible for Mankind to Unite with One Common Purpose
nancycarol says:
I hate to be pessimistic, but there have been wars over territory, religion, and social differences since mankind first appeared on earth. Idealistically, yes, I'd love to think we could all get along, but history shows us a different story. Sad to say, but I have to vote for NO.
Team World (Poem Version)
Original Poem by Brite-Ideas
They're finding joy in people's pain
we just can't
They're indifferent when someone suffers
we simply aren't
They're finding acceptance in being uneducated
we absolutely won't
They're finding justification for being intolerant
we can never
They're finding heartache in a lost sporting event
we don't get it
They're finding happiness in winning
we know it's irrelevant
They're finding satisfaction in self indulgence
we aim to create balance
We're finding joy when there's no pain
they think that's impossible
We find laughter when it doesn't hurt someone else
they find that hilarious
We're finding acceptance through education
they believe knowledge is over-rated
We're finding heartache where there is suffering
they think we're pathetic
We're finding happiness when it's win-win
they believe there's always a loser
We find satisfaction when the weak can indulge
they can't
We feel outnumbered
They feel outnumbered
Truth....
it's a plastic coated trap
There's no They
There's no We
It's Us, you and me,
Together our stand
Together our inspirations
Together our burdens
Together our joy
Together loving this earth
Together creating change

TEAM WORLD
They're finding joy in people's pain
we just can't
They're indifferent when someone suffers
we simply aren't
They're finding acceptance in being uneducated
we absolutely won't
They're finding justification for being intolerant
we can never
They're finding heartache in a lost sporting event
we don't get it
They're finding happiness in winning
we know it's irrelevant
They're finding satisfaction in self indulgence
we aim to create balance
We take a stand
choosing words to inspire
sharing the burdens
relishing in the joy
By loving this earth
We're finding joy when there's no pain
they think that's impossible
We find laughter when it doesn't hurt someone else
they find that hilarious
We're finding acceptance through education
they believe knowledge is over-rated
We're finding heartache where there is suffering
they think we're pathetic
We're finding happiness when it's win-win
they believe there's always a loser
We find satisfaction when the weak can indulge
they can't
They take a stand
They won't inspire
What burdens they ask?
Joy just bleeds!
Let someone else love the earth
I have my own needs
We feel outnumbered
They feel outnumbered
Truth....
it's a plastic coated trap
There's no They
There's no We
It's Us, you and me,
Together our stand
Together our inspirations
Together our burdens
Together our joy
Together loving this earth
Together creating change
Together, Together, ours to Change,
Together in Numbers, we re-arrange,
we are tomorrow, we are the message,
We are the rainbow after the rain,
Together,
We becomes Us...it really does

Changing the World
What do You Think? Have Your Say Again
What would it take for the world to come together, be more unified, more tolerant?
A shifting of Global Consciousness led by the Media and/or Individuals?
Or This Specific Thing...(express your thoughts)
nancycarol says:
It would take a concerted effort on the part of ALL nations to mind their own business, and treat their fellow men and women as kindly as they'd want to be treated. In other words, "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you," in the words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

- Peace Pilgrim said, ""There is a spark of good in everybody, no matter how deeply it may be buried." We can chose what we see. We can look for the ugly or celebrate the beauty. All we can do is work on ourselves.
