Free People Are Brothers
Brothers are connected by genes.
… But that is not all!
They are connected by friendships.
… Lasting a long time!
They are connected by schooling.
… Similar training!
Or perhaps, by visions alike –
Yes, many people are brothers.
They may differ in color … race.
Religious beliefs may bind them.
Some will praise, while others condemn.
Brothers may seek out common goals.
Then, build their dream as life unrolls.
Perhaps, unrelated by genes,
Brothers have many things akin.
Brothers love to make their own choice.
… Now freedom enters.
For peace to spread throughout the world,
… Tolerance must thrive.
Feelings show forth in all brothers.
… Common element,
Freedom connects the brave and free.
Yes! Free people are brothers.
