William Onyeabor's song "Better Change Your Mind" is a powerful reminder that those in power, whether they be men, nations, rules, or presidents, do not own the world.

This song is a humbling reminder that we must not become too self-assured or arrogant in our beliefs, as we are all subject to the same ultimate authority.

The lyrics of the song call out specific countries such as America, Russia, China, Cuba, Canada, and Britain, reminding us that even the most powerful nations on earth do not own the world. This message is especially relevant today, as tensions rise between superpowers such as the United States and Russia over conflicts like the war in Ukraine.

One line in particular stands out in the lyrics: "You white man, you ever think this world is yours, eh? And you black man, hey yeah, you ever think this world is yours?" This line is a poignant reminder that race and ethnicity do not determine ownership of the world. We are all equal under God, at least according to William Onyeabor's song. Better Change Your Mind - reminds us that no one group has a greater claim to the world than another.

The concept of "Good Orderly Direction - GOD" for me at least is more of a guiding principle that helps me to navigate the complexities of life. Whether one believes in a deity or not, the idea of seeking guidance and direction in our lives is one that can help us make better decisions and lead more fulfilling lives.

The song also calls out to leaders of the world, reminding us that even those who hold the highest positions of power do not truly own it. This is a powerful message, especially in a time where we are obliged to focus on politics and those in power. As the dollar begins to collapse and unpeg as a world currency and heavy weight countries, begin to flex muscle.  

Ultimately, the message of "Better Change Your Mind" is one of humility and respect for the world and each other. It is a reminder that we must not become too self-assured or arrogant in our beliefs, but instead remain open to new perspectives and ideas. In a world where there is often so much division and conflict, I hope you agree that this message is more important than ever.
