I dream of a World Republic

There is method in my "madness" to build a single country of the world,
For NASA folk have led me to see a planet EARTH with a master flag unfurled.
I worked for one year in KING CITY and wrote a letter to the press.
And here is the response I got --it had been sent to my address.
I was advised quite directly to "LOVE MY FLAG OR LEAVE"!
And this was a response which I was not happy to recieve.
My plea was for a WORLD REPUBLIC not at all a part-world scheme.
For the PRESIDENT I had in mind was in a global reformation dream.
The whole world would be the basis of the planning I would do.
Whereas a a merely USA base would not affect this novel view,
An American Republic is quite different from the notion I propose.
My scheme would unify the human race which is the role that Jesus chose.
I would look to Blair to back my plan against the merely USA one
For back in 1998 he seemed to back a single human global plan.
We must be prepared to be one nation around one world today
One community of people with a single federated part to play
Every child will need the teaching that they must be HUMAN-FIRST
And there can only be ONE NATION [A WORLD ONE] for a national thirst
Human history has been divisive of an ideal social unity.
But social union must be established to get a peaceful adult community.
Different colours are the effects of a world of separate parts.
And these must not be permitted to reimpose the warring arts.
The world must become one country and colour differences ignored
We dpn't need lessons from Mugabe which colour fascism has explored.
Various skin colours are dangerous -- this is why we should accept
That general colour blindness in politics is something we must not forget.
The Jews have paid a heavy price for their race-proud views,
So I hope that they will welcome this attempt to REFORM the human news.
So Come happy throng sing a cool song.
Providing a flag for unity is surely right,
NASA thinking and space travelling is a welcome sight
THE WHOLE WORLD CAN BE THE BASIS OF A PEACE-MAKING THRONG.
OUR PURPOSE HERE IS DOUBTFUL we cannot know right from wrong
But a law and order cosmos can ckear the mental air.
When we get one rule and politics is peaceful everywhere.
