Freedom

I should like to help everyone if possible-

Jew, Gentile, black men, white…

We all want to help one another

Human beings are like that

We want to live by each others’ happiness,not by each other’s misery

We don't want to hate and despise one another

In this world there is room for everyone

And the good earth is rich

and can provide for everyone

The way of life can be free and beautiful

but we have lost the way

Greed has poisoned men’s souls

We have developed speed

but we have shut ourselves in

Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want

Our knowledge has made us cynical

our cleverness, hard and unkind

We think too much and feel too little

More than machinery ,we need humanity

More than cleverness

we need kindness and gentleness

Without these qualities,life will be violent and all will be lost

The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together

The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man

cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.

Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world,—

millions of despairing men,women,and little children-

victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people
