Since God Made Us All - Repost

Human rights are everyone’s rights Regardless of nationality, race, sex, or creed, Since they are God-given the moment we are born It is essential we honor them with all due speed To be prejudiced toward another human being Is a violation of God’s holy law, Since God made us all! Human rights are the greatest gift Bestowed upon human beings of all races and creeds, And we all need to be mindful of our brotherhood Especially since all of us have the same essential needs To experience love, peace, joy, and acceptance Is commanded by God’s holy law Since God made us all! Human rights are basic to the good life Wherever we find ourselves living on this earth, And knowing we are all the products of our ancestors We must accept that everyone is special from birth All our faith traditions teach us that we are created To obey God’s holy law, Since God made us all!

Congrats on the 2nd place finish with this one, Milt. I like the wisdom of your chosen words, and the repeat at the end of each verse. Have a great week my friend! Bill

Thanks so much, Bill. This is a poem I had a great deal of intensity composing. I loved the way the refrain played out, though. You have a great week, too.

A beautiful poem affirming the fact that we are all children of God and hence having equal rights and privileges and the holders of great dignity!

You are so right, Caren. I felt inspired to write this poem and I am hoping that this re-run will expose it to many more people. We all need this message. Thank you!
