HUMAN RIGHTS

                            Since the dawn of time
                            We were offered the right to become humans,
                            Was it through evolution
                            Or by the will of god?
   
                            The eternal question will forever consume us,
                            And there will always be an opposite
                            Between the right and the wrong
                            From the rich to the poor

                            Time passing gave us knowledge
                            To the boundlessness of evolving minds
                            But the nature of man was underestimated
                            By the wits of time, over and over again

                            His capacity for immense cruelty
                            And forgetting the meaning of kind,
                            Had the amnesty created to grant pardon
                            And protect against heinous crime.

                            My hope—hope I still hold—
                            That time will find an elixir for ignorance,
                            But my hope is tested that it will have the medicine
                            To efface the evil from merciless hearts,

                            Unless we find the will to not fall, but fight
                            In the battle between fear and wisdom, 
                            To be delivered as victors 
                            To the line where freedom writes.
