Humans, the marvels of creation,

Living, breathing, in a world of sensation,

Infinite in complexity, boundless in imagination,

With a capacity for good and evil, beyond explanation.

From the sands of time, they emerged,

To walk the earth, to love and be loved,

To dream of what could be, and what should,

To create and build, to grow and move.

Theirs is a journey of constant discovery,

A quest for knowledge, a search for victory,

Overcoming obstacles, pushing boundaries,

Challenging what is known, redefining the boundaries.

Their emotions run deep, their hearts are wild,

Filled with passion, compassion, love and guile,

They are the dreamers, the thinkers, the doers,

The seekers of truth, the bearers of culture.

With hands that craft, with minds that design,

They shape the world, and leave their mark on time,

They are the artists, the poets, the writers,

The composers of symphonies, the inventors of lighters.

In war and peace, in times of strife and harmony,

Humans rise to the challenge, with bravery and dignity,

Their capacity for good is a wonder to behold,

Their potential for evil, a tragedy to unfold.

For all their strengths and all their flaws,

Humans are the ones who create the laws,

That govern their fate, that shape their destiny,

And through it all, they remain a mystery.

So let us cherish this gift of life we share,

And work to build a world that is fair and just,

A world where kindness, love and empathy reign,

And let the wonders of humanity sustain.
