The Sustainable Aspiration

In the midst of seeking a sustainable destiny,
Human kind shall embark on a journey
to emit the harmony that
the world craves.
To build a bright future of ecstasy,
Where great responsibility and cooperation reigns,
We have to unite.

As ones of the same species,
As ones who bleed the same blood,
As ones who establish history with each and every footstep,
Let us not spite,
And sculpt a world of communal worth tonight.

To salvage the planet that we call home,
Cooperation is the ultimate key:
From every skyscraper to dome,
Every office chair to throne,
Every gene to chromosome.

Let us bring to a halt the disregard
Of Mother Nature’s desperate plea.
Let us collectively work towards a profound vision.
Hopefully, we will foresee,
And can all sit amongst one another,
Embracing the success of our sustainable destiny.
