Sixty years ago the UDHR was proclaimed
\nHumankind’s living conditions to improve
\nFor Justice and Peace so much was claimed
\nHow united can the Family of Nations move?<\/p>\n
For Human Rights we can educate
\nViolations of Rights we can denounce
\nThe Family of Rights let’s integrate
\nNeeded emerging rights let’s announce<\/p>\n
As a system of values the UDHR can be seen
\nHuman Rights should be supported and respected
\nTo every human being, what can RIGHTS mean?
\nIs Human DIGNITY being universally protected?<\/p>\n
The UDHR text we can proudly probe and display
\nBut there is a long list of things to be done
\nAs HUMANIZERS what is the role we can play?
\nThat of HUMANIZING RIGHTS so the WORLD is ONE.<\/p>\n
