POEM: Tension All Humans

If we want to be competent human beings on this planet, a founding document in our education and a basis for our collective life is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles).

Tension All Humans

Listen up
Awe humans
It’s come to our tension
Weave been frayed
Far
Too long
Sew
Here
This
We seem too have
Misplaced
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Under a jumble of human wrongs
Pleas
Restore
To appropriate sight
Due you
Copy
