Beth K. Lamont 2015<\/strong><\/small><\/p>\nTwo of my heroes were born on this day,
\nCreating milestones in history, each in their way.
\nEarthshaking Giants born 18-09.
\nFrom humble beginnings, new thoughts would align.<\/p>\n
ABE hoping that issues of slavery were solved;
\nCHARLIE explaining how Humans evolved!
\nEach scathingly criticized, reviled and offended
\nBy haters of truth…still today hasn’t ended!<\/p>\n
Are we ONE People and ONE Human Race?
\nHow did we get here? Zapped into place?
\nBy god or by allah, each favoring “a few.”
\nAnd these tribes are still warring! Is anything new?<\/p>\n
Planet Earth is in trouble! Millions scream it out loud!
\nWe could all be aborted in a mushroom shaped cloud!
\nTribunals can’t deal with these problems for solving.
\nOne hopes that we Humans might still be Evolving!<\/p>\n
A four million year childhood? Let’s put this behind us!
\nAdult caring and sharing and love should remind us
\nThat we’re not wicked, not evil, not that kind of creatures!
\nWe’re hard-wired for goodness. that’s one of our features!<\/p>\n
The view of our Planet Earth captured from Space
\nProves that we Earthlings are ONE Human Race!
\nIt showed no nation’s dominions; no ethnic enclaves…
\nSome People the Masters; some People the Slaves!<\/p>\n
Now, there’s accessible info and sharing of tech!
\nNo more back-of-the-bus! Now, all-hands-on-deck!
\nWe precious Humans are equal; there are no sub-sets!
\nNo more killing and warfare! Make no more regrets!<\/p>\n
Power to the People! We’ll level the field!
\nNo more profits to warmongers! They’ll have to yield!
\nLet’s salute CHARLIE and ABE! A toast to them would be nice!
\nObserve us multi-hued Humans on your hand-held device!
\n
