Saving the Race of Humanities

by Anthony Albania - John Oliver Secondary School, Vancouver BC Jun 23, 2010

Humanity
It's an evolution of humans
It's one race of species
It's a next era of generations

Every human has a life
Every human has a personality
Every human has emotions
Every human has connections

We live on one planet
That is called Earth
6.8 billion humans
On our planet, this Earth
Everyone counts as one population

What are we?
Why do we exist?
Who are we?
How do we get involved?

Humanity
Everyday our time goes fast
We didn't think about time
We didn't know what time it was
We forgot time

We laughed hysterically
We cried in grief
We smiled joyfully
We shared our emotions

We made mistakes
We learned
We taught
Humans are different

We loved our race
We hated our race
We questioned our race
We had different beliefs

We worked
We slept
We watched
Our lives remained simple

Humans declared war
Humans declared violence
Humans declare independence
Humans declare peace

From the past
we experienced carnage
In the present
we experience peace
By the future
there may be more than just humans

In our race
humans didn't know the true meaning
of love
Humans came to know prejudice

Through the years
humans didn't know love
We became very selfish
We're not very peaceful to others

It's our time to change our behaviors
Our time to be full of thought, full of care
Our behaviors must be good

No more violence
No more war
No more drama
No more greed

We shall encourage the language of peace
We shall rebuild our heritage of love
Our evolution shall be a legacy of progress

The evolution of humanity needs love
The evolution of humanity needs justice
The evolution of humanity needs comfort

And the world should learn peace
