Humanity

Hallelujah! Ha something new to write about 
Us, we humans, made in the image of God
Mentally superior to all who dwell on this earth
Aspiring to be one with our maker in heaven.
Neither now nor ever shall the devil lead us astray
In our lifetime so long as we hold fast to our faith,
Time and time again we have risen from the abyss when we
Yield to humility and fellowship with malice toward none.
