Brother's Keeper

We are our brother’s keepers
for this duty we came into the world
how else can we thank our Creator;
for the  life we never applied for!

The wealth we have with us
natural talents endowed to each one
we use as custodians and trustees
to serve fellow men without bias

Great and wealthy nations of the world 
feel one in unity with the impotent
have empathy with the suffering
It’s the best way to be brothers’ keepers

The world we live in is temporary
the wealth we control is temporary
the life we so cherish is temporary
But brotherly life gives permanent bliss
