“We, the Human Family, are one family,
long ago, we shared the same mother and father,
walked the same hills, drank from the same rivers,
once, we were close, once we faced life together,
adveresity strengthened us, migration shaped us,
we moved apart, forgetting we were brothers & sisters,
divided by distance, our cultures grew, differently.
United by our shared genes, our needs were similar,
our solutions, our customs became different & diverse,
our human family flourished, grew and prospered,
time passed, society evolved and prejudice set in.

Bless Our Universal Humanity,
as the modern world brings us all together, again,
may we remember our commonality, our blood kinship,
we DO have the power to celebrate our differences,
we do not need to war over them, or poison the Earth,
our commonality can strengthen us now, if we let it.
Bless Our Universal Humanity,
at this time of coming together, a time of evolution,
again, we are becoming aware of our shared fate,
we all influence the Earth, and are influenced by it,
the forces around us demand our coming together,
we must focus on our shared fate, to give us strength.

Bless Our Universal Humanity,
so that our children can grow and interact in peace,
live, prosper and grow strong, as did our ancestors,
we share a smaller world now, and we need each other,
so that we can live in security and peace, most of the time.
We must bless each other, as we bless ourselves.” – Unknown
