Human Rights Creed

Saw this document newly pinned on the office notice board today and took an immediate liking to it. And with the general elections now looming on the horizon, I thought it'd be good to throw this in here for good measure as a reminder to the masses. Not that traffic through here is anything to shout about. Heh. : )

Anyway, here we go. U ready?

HUMAN RIGHTS CREED

I DO NOT BELIEVE
In the right of the strongest, in the language of weapons
In the power of the powerful

I DO NOT BELIEVE
In racial supremacy or in wealth
In privilege or in the established order

I DO NOT BELIEVE
That I can share the oppression there
If I tolerate injustice here

I DO NOT BELIEVE
That war and hunger are inevitable
And peace unattainable

I DO NOT BELIEVE
That efforts are in vain

I DO NOT BELIEVE
That humanity's dreams will go up in smoke
Or that death is the end of everything

I WANT TO BELIEVE
That the whole world is my home
That all reap, what we all sow

I WANT TO BELIEVE
That the right is the same here as the right there
And that I am not free
While one human being remains enslaved

I WANT TO BELIEVE
In the right of all people
In the open hand, in the power of the non-violent

I WANT TO BELIEVE
In the modes of actions, in the love of generous hands
In peace on earth

I DARE BELIEVE
Always and in spite of everything
In the new human being

I DARE BELIEVE
In God's own dream
Of a new heaven and a new earth
Where justice dwells
