                    God did not make corporations.
                    God did not make states or nations.
                    God made people.

                    God did not make popes or kings,
                    Societies or anything
                    As important
                    As people.

                    Paycheques, taxes, homes or blenders,
                    Obscenities or dented fenders, timetables -
                    Labels!
                    "We regret to inform you..." cables,
                    Were never seen in Eden.

                    Who started fights?
                    Who invented divine rights?
                    Patriotism, chauvinism, feminism,
                    Or any other schism,
                    God did not make.
                    God made
                    People.
