Citizens

citizens...
of America, of Russia,
of Africa, of China,
of Syria, of Israel,
of France, of Italy....

no more!

citizens of the world!

no longer can one country
make it at the expense
of all others....

the walls between us were lies,
and they have fallen....

now we are a people
whose homeland is family!
there's no other way
humanity can survive!

citizens of the world!
