A Word to Share


"I have many fathers, I have many mothers.
And I have many sisters, and I have many brothers.
My fathers are black, and my mothers are yellow.
My brothers are red, and my sisters are white.

I am over ten thousand years old, and my name is Human.
I am over ten thousand years old, and my name is Human."

Excerpt from the German song "Mein Name ist Mensch" by Ton Steine Scherben.
