Come With Me

Come with me, my friend, 
To build a better world together,

Kinder 
Fairer 
Nobler.

A more compassionate world

For me
For you 
For our children 
For all of us!
 
A difficult task it is, I agree, 
An impossible undertaking the
Centuries of old may assert

But

More centuries are ahead waiting to
Be born, 
Innocent centuries, pure millennia.
  
We must not betray their trust in us!

Let us, therefore, begin 
Building this magnificent world of our dreams: 
THE LOVING WORLD!

Let us not disappoint the promising future!

Tell me,
Is there a finer duty?
A holier undertaking? 
A more righteous and sacred 
Mission than this?

Is there anything else more aspired by men,
More loved by God? 

Come! 
Do not linger any longer,
Let us DARE!

You and I, together.
 
Let us start this superb enterprise! 
We owe it to the humanity of the present and of the future.

Let us lay the foundations of this
Glorious edifice TODAY.
 
Let us alter the history of Mankind forever
By
Taking the first step forward: 

Ourselves to CHANGE!
