POD



We all want to Help one another —
Human Beings are like that. 
We want to live by each other's 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 :
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, 
Has barricaded The World with Hate, 
Has goose-stepped Us into Misery and Bloodshed. 

We have developed Speed, 
But We have SHUT ourselves IN. 



 Now, THIS is Podracing!
