THE RIGHT TO BE HUMAN Life is a right for us all to enjoy And not for others to destroy No religious interpretation, ethos, law or political regime Should allow for the subjugation of any human being Yet across our world today there are people Who are denied the right of free will Fundamentalist, extreme, vile brutality Impacts upon so many Men, women, children, babies and the unborn The outlook for them is so forlorn They exist, just, but have no real life Continually threatened by the gun, sword or knife As the feared tool By which others rule Over them We must not take for granted what we have and always pray That for these unfortunate others and their progeny, the day Will soon come When they will have the right To be human J D Milaric
