I have faith in human kind
.
We have killed
each others
for thousands of years
And yet
.
I have faith in human kind
.
We have slaughtered
buffalo for her tongue
elephant for her tusk
wale for her oil
shark for her fin
jaguar for her skin
wolf out of fear
And yet
.
I have faith in human kind
.
We have destroyed
whole ecosystems
poisoned air, water, and soil
and brought the planet
into a crisis
And yet
.
I have faith in human kind
.
We have invented
the most twisted forms
of tortures
We have raped
betrayed
oppressed
persecuted
enslaved
exterminated
crushed
And yet
.
I have faith in human kind
.
I have faith in human kind
Because
we know
.
how to change.
