The Final Speech (Original Mix) - Thomas Jack.mp3

[00:54.97]I’m sorry, but I don’t want to be an emperor.
[00:58.36]That’s not my business.
[01:00.50]I don’t want to rule or conquer anyone.
[01:02.90]I should like to help everyone if possible-
[01:04.84]Jew, Gentile, black men, white…
[01:08.21]We all want to help one another.
[01:09.80]Human beings are like that.
[01:11.63]We want to live by each others’ happiness,
[01:12.95]not by each other’s misery.
[01:14.22]In this world there is room for everyone.
[01:15.69]And the good earth is rich
[01:17.39]and can provide for everyone.
[01:19.29]The way of life can be free and beautiful,
[01:21.87]but we have lost the way.
[01:23.43]
[01:24.36]Greed has poisoned men’s souls;
[01:26.88]has barricaded the world with hate;
[01:29.14]has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.
[01:32.04]We have developed speed,
[01:33.54]but we have shut ourselves in.
[01:35.15]Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
[01:38.20]Our knowledge has made us cynical;
[01:39.98]our cleverness, hard and unkind.
[01:41.70]
[01:42.33]We think too much and feel too little.
[01:44.84]More than machinery ,we need humanity.
[01:47.47]More than cleverness,
[01:48.80]we need kindness and gentleness.
[01:50.37]
[01:51.24]Without these qualities,
[01:52.12]life will be violent and all will be lost.
[01:54.42]
[01:55.41]The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.
[01:58.01]The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man;
[02:00.91]cries out for universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.
[02:04.36]Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world,
[02:07.57]
[02:59.56]Greed has poisoned men’s souls
[03:01.10]
[04:14.00]Soldiers!
[04:14.78]Don’t give yourselves to brutes,
[04:16.31]men who despise you and enslave you;
[04:18.50]who regiment your lives, tell you what to do,
[04:21.08]what to think and what to feel! Who drill you,
[04:22.64]diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
[04:26.44]Don’t give yourselves to these unnatural men-machine men
[04:30.35]with machine minds and machine hearts!
[04:32.41]
[04:32.78]You are not machines! You are not cattle!
[04:35.32]You are men! You have a love of humanity in your hearts!
[04:38.71]You don’t hate!
[04:39.27]
[04:39.67]Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.
[04:43.01]Soldiers! Don’t fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
[04:46.05]
[04:46.43]In the seventeenth chapter of St. Luke, it’s written
[04:48.46]“the kingdom of God is within man”,
[04:49.93]not one man nor a group of men, but in all men!
[04:52.95]In you! You, the people, have the power,
[04:55.54]the power to create machines,
[04:57.07]the power to create happiness!
[04:58.59]You, the people,
[04:59.48]have the power to make this life free and beautiful,
[05:02.01]to make this life a wonderful adventure.
[05:04.42]Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
[05:07.53]Let us all unite.
[05:08.60]
