By the Grandest Axioms

Civility, liberty is the nourishing ability
To love all with no animosity
To achieve harmony with all of humanity

Be it a tribe from the farthest
Of the darkest regions in forests unknown
Or a simple call 
From a stranger over the phone

To take religions, color and creed
To help all in need
To pass no inquisition
Or violate any tradition
Should be man's highest ambition

Cessation of destruction
Restrain all seduction
Of Untruth and Lies
By the grandest axioms
Only should we abide
To end our susceptible demise.
