TRUTH and FAIRY TALES

We sang fairy tales and corny tales and horney tales as well.
We seemed to have a glasnost outlook with proper doubts on heaven and hell.
As we trained to become teachers in the schools of a BRAVE NEW WORLD.
Which knew such words as atheistic and pornographic and agnostic well.
But which was TRUTH was different we got no answer here.
Most of the lecturers were silent when the truth-seekers were severe.
But we needed to have answers to the great question "WHAT IS THE TRUTH?"
"IS IT SOME GREAT RELIGION OR IS UTTER IGNORANCE THE CASE FORSOOTH ?"
Only the atheists seemed to be emphatic backed up waryly by AGNOSTIC minds.
These were the only possibilities that seemed likely to be finds.
After wrestling with such problems I decided I would be A HUMANISTIC LIBERAL
As the best solution I could see.
I agreed to be like wise John Lennon -- deciding that HEAVEN is a LIE.
"THERE IS NO HEAVEN WITH ANGELS ABOVE US IN THE BRIGHT BLUE SKY!"
"THERE IS NO JEHOVAH -- NO HEAVEN WITH PEARLY GATES -- for thinkers such as I!
To prove this we made people-toting aircraft to land men on the moon.
And we were shown how we can do it with reduced gravity as a boon.
I accepted these things as AMPLE PROOF that new truths now win the day.
All GODS are simply preachers' LIES when studied scientifically.
We can IMAGINE there is no HEAVEN and likewise no JEHOVAH or ALLAH there.
Human beings in one UNIVERSE is a NEW and really PROVED POLITICAl IDEOLOGY.
Humans come with differing dresses Scots in kilts and some in desert robes.
But all are simply humans exploiting multi-national clothing-phobes.
We should all see being a living thing as a MIRACULOUS AFFAIR.
AStounding when you think of it in UK or USA or indeed any national where.
We can be friendly folk or murderers as befits the way we think.
This is TRUE OBSERVATION I am now reporting here with ink,
Take this theme of kindly humans and apply it as a universal fact.
The SOMETHING TRUE AND IMPORTANT ABOUT THE WAY ALL HUMANS TRY TO ACT.
Let the histories of human war-making become world-wide quite EFFETE
And you will understand how ENORMOUSLY IMPORTANT is what I am trying to relat.
Old NATIONS must be banished to prepare mankind for universal UNITY.
For UNITY is the proper basis for the WORLDWIDE PEACE we intend to see.
Do not plan for NATIONAL UNIONS.
THAT CALL is words for wars.
We must plan for peace that's universal.
To reject the possibility of such scars.
Our new nation must be universal.
To match our single national plan of PEACE
A call for universal FRIENDSHIP
IS THE CALL TO MAKE WARS CEASE
