Rights Of Mankind Poem by louis rams

sometimes we run across things in life
that we don't understand.
that is when we ask for GODS hand.

like what is the purpose of war?
and what are we dying for?
we see people dying every day.
some by accident, and many become prey.
prey to the gangs, the criminals, the predators too.
so what in the world, are we supposed to do?

we put our faith in the laws that we have created
but! most of these laws are a bit belated.
this is when we ask the LORD for his guiding hand
to make us strong, and to take a stand.

we gain knowledge in every way
with each and every passing day.
little bits of information, here and there.
that we pass along for others to share.

the young people say that they have no life
how could they, when they always fight.
this is the world that we live in
full of crime, full of sin.

we have the opportunity
to change all this, by taking control
of our destiny.

'that is how it's got to be.'

let's open the road to communication
and talk with friends, family, relations.
let us become a family of one
fighting for the right of all mankind.

'don't you think that it is time?
