I used to play guitar, I used to compose my own songs, I used to write my own lyrics, and I used to sing them when I was 18, but now, I can only sing "I wish I was 18 again". Here I am on my keyboard, yet another instrument to play my thoughts, feelings, passions and emotions, and there you are as my true audience, my true readers. As readers, you do have your own instruments. Let's tune our instruments, let's keep the beat. Let us play a world wide song called Our World Wide Wants!
I play "A", then you read this note and sing with it "A". On a simple chord, I can sing my song. Let us sing together, it's a world wide song called: "Our World Wide Wants!" Are you ready? Are you ready? Okay! In this World Wide Concert, let's begin with a World Wide Wish that is what? That is what? I can not hear you! That is what? A World Wide What? Yeah ... PEACE! It is not a minor thing, I believe, it is not on a minor chord, I insist, it is and it must be on our major agenda, on a major chord, and we play it for us and our children, for the next generation, it must be a world wide rock and roll, on a major "A" chord, on this chord we sing and call "Our World". It must be a world wide harmony. I dream for the betterment of the song, the world, and the history of the mankind. I dream for a world wide peace, I dream for a world wide unity, I dream for our first World Wide Want. I play it on my keyboard, and I move and change my fingers to a "D" chord, on it we sing "Wide". Then I play the "E" chord and we sing on it: "Wants". For those of you who may not know how to play these three chords of A, D, and E, I shall add if we wish, playing them is as simple as pressing the A, B and C keys on your keyboard.
Attitude, abundance and assistance for all; budget, balance and benefits for all; change and care! Let's first wish for a caress, then a courage, now I care for the coordinations and cooperations for all; decency, determination and democracy for all; enthusiasm, effort, efficiency and education for all; faith, fair play, fair trade, friendship, flexibility and freedom for all; gentility, generosity and good fellows and goodwill for all; help, happiness and health for all; I, I mean me, myself, I need information, I want initiation, innovation, inspiration and I die for the intellection for all; jobs, joy, jokes, jubilation and justice for all; Knowledge and know-how for all; literacy, love, laughter and logic for all; more merit, more mind and more money for all; no, just say no, learn to say no, but learn about the news, names, norms and wish for the notability for all; open opinions and opportunities for all; people, ah people, please practice on this project: "peace on earth and nature for all"; quick! qualifications, quality and quantity for all; revise, release, resize, rebuild and reliefs, rights, rewards and reliabilities for all; safe and sound success and security for all; think twice: thy thoughts, time, and I thank you all, for all; we want understanding and unity for all; Oh my Venus, I am out of breath now - values, validities and varieties for all; work, wealth and welfare for all; XXX, X chromosome, X-axis, X-ray and X-files for all; Yes, You, Yesterday, oh...

These and many more are all our World Wide Wants. - Hey I forgot the numbers : 1, 2 , 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 - Oh my God! What about the symbols?! Too many notes ... You can see or hear!
I play on my keyboard for the peace of the world, maybe I can not find the words, the phrases, the sentences, but I have a great picture in my mind: It is all green and blue, it is right now spinning in peace, with no wars, no fights, no hates but full of love, peace and friendship! I have a picture of a blue sky in my mind and vast green forests and mountains, many exotic places to discover on this planet, many beautiful sights, many innocent and decent people with their loved ones, families and friends; a great sun, and a great moon and many many starts shining above all of us.
There is no more lies, no more hatred, fights and wars on this planet. Families and friends, with all their different skins, their different faiths and religions, their different cultures and traditions can live together in peace and harmony - it is my imagination, can be yours too. I feel much better now. Are you feeling better now, I hope so, after reading this brief note, if it is so, please send it as an e-mail, read it, sing it, dramatise and play it for your friends, for our friends, in this English language, in your own languages, by using your own instruments, throughout the world! Let them know that WE ALL KNOW - as ordinary human beings, with no political power or support, that this current world - full of tears and fears and fights and wars - we now live in, is not the promised world, our Great God created for us to live in, in the course of our lives! Instead of politicians and governments and superpowers, individuals and peoples of the whole world must unite, with "a World Wide Friendship program" which can be conducted - this time really by the people and for the people - among all the civilians to protect themselves from further wars and conflicts, right now at hand, we have a World Wide Media called the World Wide Web, by this new era and medium, we have to make friends, we have to establish a world wide LOVE among each other! No United Nations Organization or something has done such a program in the last five decades. Peoples and individuals must unite with peace and friendship! Try for a better world and God bless you all.
