Twenty earthly rulers meet regularly,

But people's lives are getting worse.

How do they improve the lives of their peoples?

Have they refused wars, armies and weapons?

Have they transferred nuclear weapons under international control?

Have they removed the borders? Canceled visas, duties?

Did they defeat crime, hunger and disease?

Twenty earthly rulers meet regularly,

But people's lives are getting worse.

Have they created a single world social state?

Have they abolished private ownership of land, water, resources?

What have earthly rulers done for the people?

Are they funding education, science, healthcare, social security enough?

Do they provide sufficient protection for the planet from natural elements and their consequences, from asteroids and radiation?
