Humans Can

Humans can reach from antiquity to modern times,
To produce crops in return for labour,
To advance technology,
To understand your due in exchange for blood.
Humans can bring about renaissance,
Abandon the violent to become non-violent;
Courage is embedded in thought, protest storm,
May be the people’s court and judgment.
To prevent the arbitrariness of a dictatorship,
To prevent destruction,
To care for the environment,
To take care of the world.
Man can make roses bloom in the desert,
To complement each other.
Only man can climb the inaccessible mountain,
And stand on the top of the mountain,
To swim across the Atlantic Ocean,
To respond widely to new innovations in technology,
To make life easier,
People can one day foiling all plots,
To hold the umbrella of peace forever.
