Poem by Henry Farkas

Food is Important

Food is important, but it’s not the only important thing.
The world is dependent on cooperation.
If people didn’t cooperate, lions would have wiped us out
Long ago.

Cooperation means we all work together
To make the world better for all life forms.
Not just us.

There are already more human beings than there ought to be.
That’s why there’s hunger and starvation in the world.
But we also have very clever people
Who can figure out ways to collaborate for a better world.

Cooperation means we all work together
To make the world better for all life forms.
Not just us.

We need to adjust the climate, increase green energy,
Stop burning fossil fuels, and improve agricultural techniques.
We need to preserve species from extinction
And learn more about the biology of our single blue planet.

Cooperation means we all work together
To make the world better for all life forms.
Not just us.

We need to find a way to stop having wars, 
Religious, political, and crime-related wars.
We need to stop pollution, stop destruction, 
And transform the world to a collaboration
Of all people.

Cooperation means we all work together
To make the world better for all life forms.
Not just us.
