In a world that seems to amplify the voices of the powerful, the rights of the weak are often drowned out. We speak of freedom of speech, security, and the right to protect interests—but at what cost? What about the right to dream, to justice, and to life itself?
This poem draws from two profound pillars of human history: the Bill of Rights first declared by Cyrus the Great, and the Holy Quran, a timeless guide to justice and equality. Both remind us that true rights are not enforced with power but are born of compassion and fairness.
In these times of turmoil, this poem serves as a reflection on our collective humanity. It’s a reminder that justice is not just an ideal—it’s a responsibility. Read on, and let its message resonate with your heart.
If this inspires you, share it with others. Let’s spark a conversation about the rights that truly matter. 🌍✨
Bill of Rights
The world grows weary in championing
The rights of the powerful.
The right to speak freely—yet to wound with words.
The right to defend—yet to destroy with bombs.
The right to protect its interests—
Even when it tramples the dreams of others.
If only we lived in a world
Where rights were granted, not enforced.
Where the weak could hold their heads high.
Where are their rights?
The right to dream, to build a future.
The right to justice, unshaken and true.
The right to life itself, sacred and whole.
Do not despair, my friends.
Bear witness to the eternal truth:
The first bill of rights, inscribed by Cyrus the Great,
Proclaimed freedom for captives and dignity for all.
And the Holy Quran—an enduring covenant—
Guards the rights of the oppressed,
Upholding mercy, justice, and equality.
“There is no compulsion in religion.”
Its verses echo fairness,
Calling for the orphan’s care, the widow’s aid,
The balance of scales for the weak and the mighty.
The meek shall inherit the earth,
For justice will rise, as sure as the sun.
“Our Father, which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.”
Amen.
