REASONABLE Humanity knows no color; All blood is red ... Every heart can beat with Anger, love, or sorrow .... Every person has a right To exist without encumbrance By any other, for that other Would also claim the same respect; And there is no human alive Who can rightfully claim the right To encroach upon or diminish Another by fear or force, For the same doctrine of Mutual respect precludes it. We are creatures of the Special gift of reason, And it naturally follows that The weight of such a gift Is equally balanced by the Debt of duty to its practice. |
