I am Man
In the beginning
was the Word
and the Word was God
God is Love
Love is the Word
I, I am Man
I am free
I will err
I will hurt
I will go to war
wreaking havoc
I bring devastation
to my Motherland
breaking her, using her
devoid of grace
forgetful of gratitude
I will stifle
I will supress
I will stagnate
I am Man
I am potential
I am the likeness of God
my freedom
permits me to choose
I will learn
I will heal
I will make peace
bringing light
to our Motherland
mending her, caressing her
weeping gratitude
from my bare feet
I will liberate
I will open
I will grow
I am God
I am Love
I am Man
this is my word
