AS FREE AS FLYING BIRDS
Our earth is one,
On a common earth we grow.
Therefore why is it
That we do not treat it so?
So many divisions
That we ourselves did make…
Why the steps to a common earth
Does nobody ever take?
So many barriers
Of colour, birth and caste!
Why does enduring peace
Never amongst us last?
The ones that we find evil
Are never amongst our own
Why beyond this prejudice
Has the human race not grown?
Is war a solution?
The answer is clearly NO!
But the more we humans evolve,
The more divisive we grow…
Some people have claimed
That there is no hope for us!
That soon enough the human race
Will be trampled into dust…
However our destiny is not
As hopeless as you think,
If we work together to pull
Ourselves back from the brink!
The thought of a truly common earth
Is not just a hopeless wish.
If we act together now
Our sorrows we can vanquish.
Equal rights shall rule
And all shall have their say.
People will come together
And be happy every day.
No one will be dependent
Or mocked, no not one!
Dignity and respect
Will be shown to everyone.
No religion shall dominate,
But show acceptance and grace.
No one shall be persecuted
Because of colour or race!
Food as well as shelter
Shall be refused to none;
Safety and comfort
Will be given to everyone.
Clean water shall be aplenty
For every living kind;
A home for all species,
No one left behind.
Everybody shall be living
In the utmost state of health
And knowledge for everyone
Will provide mental wealth.
Boundaries are artificial
For all humans are one;
And that is why acceptance
Should be practiced by everyone.
May we be as harmless
And as free as flying birds;
For that is how I envision OUR
COMMON EARTH…
