Together we are humans, separate we are apes.
Together we are life, separate we are dust.
Together we are tools, separate we are weapons.
Together we are a boon, separate we are a curse.
Together we are power, separate we are insects.
Together we are sanity, separate we are lunacy.
Together we are serenity, separate we are misery.
Together we are harmony, separate we are catastrophe.
Together we are diversity, separate we are phobia.
Together we are purity, separate we are pollution.
Together we are savannah, separate we are a desert.
Together we are family, separate we are desolation.
Together we are to grow as beings of conscience and character,
Or else our lives are futile and will fade away in time's murmur.

O My Dear Earthling open your doors,
For the supreme festival has arrived.
The whole wide nature is rejoicing in love,
Step outside cultures and celebrate life.
The sky is engulfed with billions of smiles,
Smiles that know not pettiness of society.
Open your soul O Mighty Earthling,
The wind of amity is here bearing unity.
No more bounds on love, race and religion,
Prejudice suits not a species of sapiens.
Value we must character over conformity,
It’s time we throw away all our allegiance.
On guard we stand against differentiation,
Hear all peddlers of hate – we are all one.

Come my friend, it's time to color the world,
It's been vague and stale for eternity.
You and I, we all have the colors in us,
Why not use them to paint over all conformity.
Let's color with our words, thoughts and action,
So that not a single inch is left unrenovated.
Let's paint with justice, equality and sanity,
And make all offices of bigotry eliminated.
There is no lack of colors in the world,
Nor there is lack of determined conscience.
Once you recognize the colors in your heart,
The universe will rejoice in our united radiance.
Colors are plenty for us to celebrate together,
Hence we take a stand forging a humane future.

Our culture their culture,
Enough of this primitive nonsense.
It may have suited our ancestors,
But it suits not beings of conscience.
Of all nations on the face of earth,
My nation is the greatest.
This is no behavior of the civilized,
It's but a sign of the stupidest.
The savage jungle or modern society,
What would you like to be a part of?
Your choice means absolutely nothing,
Till you act on the accountability thereof.
Boasting ancestry declares a dead character.
Wake up from death to write a new chapter.

One two three,
Reason will make you free.
Four five six,
Prejudices must be fixed.
Seven eight nine,
Shout aloud, the world is mine.
Ten eleven twelve,
In love humans ought to delve.
Thirteen fourteen fifteen,
To assimilate you must be keen.
Sixteen seventeen eighteen,
With kindness you must lean.
Nineteen twenty twenty-one,
It’s you that peace depends upon.
Twenty-two twenty-three twenty-four,
Give to the society more and more.
Twenty-five twenty-six twenty-seven,
Only actions can build an actual heaven.
Twenty-eight twenty-nine thirty,
Life is to lift the world, not party.

Of all nations on earth,
No nation is the best.
Of all religions on earth,
No religion is the best.
Of all cultures on earth,
No culture is the best,
Of all colors on earth,
No color is the best.
Of all genders on earth,
No gender is the best,
Of all philosophies on earth,
No philosophy is the best.
The world is diverse for us to be strong,
By walking together we'll fly high and long.

You asked, what's my nation,
I say it's humanity.
You asked, what's my language,
I say it's magnanimity.
You asked, what's my culture,
I say it's humaneness.
You asked, what's my tradition,
I say it's humbleness.
You asked, what's my gender,
I say it's fortitude.
You asked, what's my religion,
I say it's servitude.
You asked everything except my purpose.
I tell you now, it's to unite the universe.

Science means nothing,
Unless we use it to lift the society.
Philosophy means nothing,
Unless it empowers humanity.
Religion means nothing,
Unless it advocates for inclusion.
Technology means nothing,
Unless it aids in collective ascension.
Tastes are plenty in our world,
So are the paths that humans take.
But if those paths hold no humanity,
Fabric of civilization will soon break.
Placing on humanity our prime attention,
Together we’ll attain true emancipation.

Better to be loco for something,
Than to be sane for nothing.
Better to fight and die for a purpose,
Than to sit around and do chanting.
Better to love and be exploited,
Than to be self-obsessed and crooked.
Better to disagree and annoy each other,
Than to hide the differences fostering hatred.
Better to be a know-nothing idiot,
Than to be a know-it-all loudspeaker.
Better a character without fancy clothes,
Than fancy clothes without character.
There’s no future without a united humanity.
The whole world is a reflection of me.

Christmas isn't about the decorations,
It's about compassion.
Hanukkah isn't about the sufganiyot,
It's about amalgamation.
Ramadan isn't about the feast,
It's about affection.
Diwali isn't about the lights,
It's about ascension.
Our world is filled with festivals,
But what do they really mean?
Celebrating them with cultural exclusivity,
Makes us not human but savage fiend.
Every festival belongs to all of humanity,
For happiness has no religious identity.
