WE

Of all the kingdoms, powers, and lands
Only the human individual still stands.
Change has always been part of the human form
Since the very first emanation earthly born.

Eons of time and vastness of space
The planet earth was home for the human race.
Power, greed and time has come and so did ebb away
Kingdoms rose and also fell into decay.

Nations and boundaries changed from old to new
The only constancy has been me and you.
We who are the temple and edifice and chalice of love
As custodian and giver of life's bounty from above.

We who received a body, mind and soul
Out of diversity and difference to make us whole.
We who are the custodians of the children's earthly time
Humanities future; the fruit of our vine. 

We who inhabit and do the daily toil
If not for us then boundaries etched only in soil.
Human goodness has no measure nor a level of power
For that time exists like the bloom of a flower.

Nor in kingdoms or nations of power and might
For their purpose of existence they soon lose sight.
Nations have changed like the shifting sands
But the human continuity is based on God and children grand.

The individual nations who stand for the internal we
Have a purpose of goodness and reason for their children to be.
One human act of goodness has the capacity to forever last
Change is the challenge to move forward and leave the past.
