Men vie where borders lie
Among the homogenous ranks
Thirst for power reigns supreme
For they seem the only lives
Pitted against for honor
In ways least honorable
The tongue is where the mind lies
And anarchy is among the able
Deafening voices of hate
Silence cries for help
Words of equality are written in fine sand
And injustice etched in stone
Then what of trees and beasts
Priceless, yet destroyed at a price
Paid by the innocent
And reaped by the elite
No thirst quenched by the rising seas
But greed excused by our rising number
Hence proclaim to the oppressor
That sly diplomacy cannot mend
Relations made fragile
That ignorance cannot extinguish
The flame of knowledge
And victory cannot piece destroyed lives
For all conflict left aside
We are but a single brotherhood
We must live on the very same earth
Giving it what we take
And giving ourselves what has eluded us
Of peace, equality and justice
That is all scribed in the law of the land.
