Embrace Our Humanity

 

In this world of chaos, let's strive to find peace,

Embrace our humanity, let love flood our hearty.

With empathy as our guide, let's walk side by side,

Building bridges of understanding across this vast land.

 

Let's cherish diversity, let differences shine,

For unity in variety, define our strength.

In the tapestry of life, each thread has its place,

Let's celebrate uniqueness, with dignity and highness.

 

Let's nurture compassion, let it bloom and grow,

Everywhere and in every heart.

Sowing seeds of kindness, wherever we go,

And healing wounds of division.

 

Let's listen to each other, respecting every voice,

Erasing doubts and fears, restore confidence and hopes.

Let's lift each other up, in times of despair,

For together we're stronger, and better than ever.

 

Let's learn from our mistakes, and strive to do better,

Forging paths of righteousness, united in our endeavor.

Let's leave a legacy of love, for generations to come,

A beacon of hope, shining bright in the darkest times.

 

So let's stand together, in this journey called life,

Being human with purpose, banishing strife and differences.

For a better humanity, let's all play our part,

With compassion as our guide, let's heal the world's heart.

LET PEACE FLOW

 

The realm of hearts, let peace reside,

A beacon of hope and gentle Love.

No room for vile desire or greed,

Just love and kindness to inspire.

 

In God's vision, we all unite,

No evil, hate, or endless discrimination.

No murder stains our hands with blood,

But rather, compassion and justiça.

 

No scorn, no racial slurs, no bias,

In peace and love, we are reborn.

Sectarian divides shall cease to be,

In harmony, we all are free.

 

Gender equality, in the fabric of peace,

A fundamental right, woven tight.

No discrimination based on hue,

Or religion or sect, we are all brothers.

 

So let us strive, hand in hand,

To spread peace across this world.

For the peace that God decrees,

Is the peace that sets all souls free.

 

In hearts of gold, let peace take hold,

In every soul, let harmony rise.

Across the lands, let kindness flow,

And in humanity's bond, our true community.

Love Is Peace

 

In a vast and endless universe,

Life dances in its eternal ritual.

In every breeze and every sigh,

Love for existence is a peace.

 

In the glow of the rising dawn,

Resides the charm of life.

The flowers dance with grace and color,

Celebrating the miracle of tomorrow.

 

On every path, with every step,

Love for life is a wellspring.

The sun caresses with a warm embrace,

While the stars paint the space.

 

In the murmur of the serene river,

The echo of dawn is heard.

Love for the living calls us,

In every soul, in every feeling.

 

In the beat of the fervent heart,

Love gently beats.

For every insect, for every leaf,

Life is a perfect treasure.

 

In every gaze, in every smile,

Love for life is a blaze.

In every laugh, in every tear,

Existence is a gentle breeze.

 

So, in every moment, in every beat,

Love for life is our lover.

Because in this vast ephemeral world,

To love what exists is our empire.
