Who Dares Label Man?

Who dares label man?

Canadian, American, English, French

Italian, African, Japanese, Indian

Chinese, Korean, Russian, Serbian

Who dares raise his voice

To pinpoint a man and say

"This is he."

Black, white, dark, fair - 

What matters the colour

Of the skin of your brother?

Who dares answer?

Have we not heard a thousand, thousand times

That within every man lies the same precious soul?

That coursing within each man's veins is the same red blood?

That behind every pair of human eyes is the same intelligent mind,

Capable of an infinity of thoughts?

Have we not heard?

Have we not heard a thousand times,

A thousand, thousand times those words

And denied entry to those words,

That we are one,

That we are brothers,

That we are equals,

That we are one family of nations?

Each man is capable of the noblest actions

Each man is worthy of the greatest respect

King or beggar -

What does it matter?

Who dares label man?

Who dares answer?
