Three Global Basics
Three global basics crying out to me
Do you agree
Basic Movement
Masses looking for a way
to live, to love to, care, to have a day
Refugees is hopeless as a concept
A throwback to a world that
can no longer make believe
that today’s treatment of
the wandering, fleeing, hated
is just or adequate
STOP and consider
Call this Basic Movement
and adapt the world to IT
Create a world where ANYWHERE is home
Basic Income
Trillions syphoned off by billionaires
nauseating ugly
A massive global robbery
Basic income is not charity or justice
It’s fairness
Take the money and reorganize it
If the billionaires won’t do it we can
Just give us levers for a day or two
Basic Income GLOBALLY
trumping every terrorist
trumping every phony democrat
who wants to save a war economy
Basic Income friends
At the beginning of any list
of necessities for the future
Basic Democracy
Not monstrous central governments
Instead local units
Real face to face
Constitutional and tuned
to explicit community needs
Local democracy is not a panacea
Wherever power exists without balance
there’s corruption in the wings
It’s tough to be for democracy
It’s tough to be for ending war
It’s tough to be fallible
Basic Democracy is hands on
sensible It is the best route to universal fairness
The best solutions ever worldwide Basic Movement Basic Income Basic Democracy
