The Universal Brotherhood

Being bitter and giving up hope entirely
is the worst thing we can do to ourselves;
we must move forward, overcome fears...
change the way we think by doing our part.
If we do nothing, we will definitely lose heart;
uncertainty must be replaced by some ingenuity.

Waiting for a savor is watching a ship about to sink; 
a banal ideology can become something grand,
even bigger than the vivid dreams we once had...
let's put it in action, we must stay afloat and think.  

One genial idea can transform this planet into paradise,
never having to watch people starve and die daily;
erasing terrorism and crime calls for global unity,
we'll all benefit and can look forward to a peaceful life.

Who can change the hypocritical face of the despicable world?
I say," It should be me, it should be you, it should be them. "
Let's make a great effort to restore the universal brotherhood
by forcing all governments in existence to honor this emblem.
