Say you are in Charge
 
If you were offered a million dollars for peace,
would you take it?
If you were offered ten million,
would you sell?
If you were offered a drug that would give you joy
without side effects,
would you bite?
If you were offered a king's ransom for your pet,
would you pat it goodbye, throw in its bed?
If you were offered a Porsche and a key
to a cottage where Brad and Angela stayed
if you helped stamp out rights,
would you hold out your hand?
If you were offered Time-Warner to see
people keep going hungry and getting sick,
would you be, like, Where do I sign?
How much for looking the other way
while Strong tears into Weak?
If you were offered all the money on or off shore
{see U.S. Ports Deal}, would you  suv your loved ones
to the buyer, then run like hell?
If someone offered you a dollar to replace
love with hate,  send them packing,
right?
Love your neighbor means just that?
All neighbors, get right down?
 
 
....what i thought...
