Human Rights

Soon after World War 2 was weathered The United Nations got together… and after hearing of the peoples plight created a declaration…of human rights. Appalled at all the lives we lost and sickened by the Holocaust The UN set about decreeing A set of rights for human beings. Every person has these rights they declared In any location…anywhere. Every human…from their inception Every human…without exception. Every human is endowed they said with reason, a conscience and should use their head and every person everywhere should act in the spirit of brotherhood. Since the UN declaration 70 years ago We have made progress…but much too slow. We have not learned from our mistakes and now our existence is at stake! We must treat each person with dignity each as a member of our family. For when we become kind humans we will find one world…one family…one humankind. Or 70 years from now If we don't ensure everyone's human rights…somehow… If we continue to live in a world where human rights are bereft… there won't be any humans left.
