Anthem for One World

Anthem For One World

How do you write an anthem for one world;
a hymn for a planet united in diversity;
an allegiance for for a civilization in love with unity?

How do you write an anthem for one world?
Do you rehearse the liturgies of faith
that foreshadowed the unity of race?

How do you write an anthem for one world?
Do you recount the names of nation states
that merged into its government?

How do you write an anthem for one world?
Do you focus on humanity's diversity
or spot light its similarities?

How do you write an anthem for one world?
Do you describe the planet as seen from space
unmarred by man-made boarders or prejudice?
