Let's start a union, calling every human
It's one for all and all for one
Let's live in unison, calling every citizen
It's one for all and all for one
We don't want war, can't take no more
It's drastic time for sure
We need a antidote and a cure
Coz do you really think Mohamed got a problem with Jehovah
We don't want war imagine if any prophet was alive
In current days amongst you and I
You think they'd view life like you and I do
Or would they sit and contemplate on why
Do we live this way, act and behave this way
We still live in primitive today
Coz the peace in the destination of war can't be the way
There's no way, so people, just be a woman, be a man
Realize that you can't change the world by changing yourself
And understand that we're all just the same
So when I count to three let's change
Let's start a union, calling every human
It's one for all and all for one
Let's live in unison, calling every citizen
It's one for all and all for one
Got no time for grand philosophy
I barely keep my head above the tide
I got this mortgage, got three kids at school
What you're saying is the truth, but really troubles me inside
I'd change the world if I could change my mind
If I could live beyond my fears
Exchanging unity for all my insecurity
Exchanging laughter for my tears
Let's start a union, calling every human
It's one for all and all for one
Let's live in unison, calling every citizen
It's one for all and all for one
I don't know, y'all, we in a real deposition
In the midst of all this negative condition
Divided by beliefs, different sink and religion
Why do we keep missing the point in our mission?
Why do we keep killing each other, what's the reason?
God made us all equal in his vision
I wish that I could make music as a religion
Then we could harmonize together in this mission
Listen, I know it's really hard to make changes
But two of us could help rearrange this curse
Utilizing all the power in our voices
Together we will unite and make the right choice
And fight for education, save the next generation
Come together as one
I don't understand why it's never been done
So let's change on the count of one
It takes one, just one
And then one follows the other one
And then another follows the other one
Next thing you know you got a billion
People doing some wonderful things
People doing some powerful things
Let's change and do some powerful things
Unity could be a wonderful thing
Let's start a union, calling every human
It's one for all and all for one
Let's live in unison, calling every citizen
It's one for all and all for one

d.: Hi, Cal.E. You look frustrated on Facetime. What is wrong, and why are you playing a Black Eyed Peas song in the background?
C.: THAT is the song of the strongest union in Canada, The Association of Working Pets of Canada or AWPOC for short. I did not know it existed. I ran afoul of its members today...
d.: Wait, start at the beginning, please.
C.: OKAY. I was born on a far away planet. I was the most adorable kitten ever born on my native planet...
d.: Not THAT far back. Just tell me what happened today, please.
C.: Okay. So, I try to walk into the kennel with my spreadsheet, because I stayed up all night figuring out how many kennel cells each pet should clean in an hour to keep up with demand. The guard stopped me at the entrance, because he said I could not bring anything not WORK- RELATED into the kennel. I showed him my spreadsheet, and he called the warden, who said to let me in. Anyway, I came up with twelve cages per hour for the pets to clean to make the business more efficient. I also advocated for six hour shifts instead of four hour shifts (at the same pay).
d.: I think I may see your problem. You are trying to do too much too soon. You were only required to clean ten cages an hour to earn your bonus. And these pets have probably never had a quota before. AND you only worked four-hour shifts when you first started your job.
C.: True, but then I started working double and triple shifts and coming in on my days off. I reason that, with longer shifts, there will be less need for workers, so some could be let go. That would save on insurance and other benefits. I skipped my lunch breaks to meet my quota. I reason that these pets could stop eating catnip on the job, and skip one meal a day. Many of them NEED to do that!
d.: Cal.E. I see why the union got involved. You cannot take away work breaks, or expect pets to work more hours for the same pay!
C.: Well, I need to figure something out before I fly (first class, of course) to Denver. The Canadian chapter of the union called the American chapter, The Association of Working Pets in the United States, or AWPUS. They are going to organize a picket line that I may not be able to cross! Tell me what to do!
d.: I would start by lowering your travel expenses, as well as our expectations, for now. Why does a seven pound cat need a first-class seat on an airplane? I suppose you also rented a limo to take you to the kennel in Denver. Just use a ride-share service, like LYFT Or Uber! Lowering your expenses will allow you to lower the amount of work that needs to be done to turn a profit at The Kennel in Denver. Stop eating Tuna TarTar at four and five star restaurants on company money, as I am sure you are doing. AND work beside your coworkers, like you are one of them. THAT will earn their respect!
C.: (Heavy sigh) I guess I could try it your way, d.c. I do not want to lose this job during the first week. The first thing I must do, then, is go buy some work clothes. I will order them online, from a boutique. IF I expedite the delivery to come to my hotel room immediately, then the clothes should be here before I leave. Of course, it will cost The Kennell more money, but I am worth it!
d.: Some cats never learn! (And now I am SURE that this will end badly!)
