Steve Tranter’s Human Story (Tara) by GM Jon

Bombs and drones, propaganda megaphones Hatred and lies that demonise… Fragments and shadows and tiny pieces Are what make up the human species We share so much of our DNA It’s the human story of yesterday Though it’s natural to look out, for your own No one in the world should stand alone Empathy and caring fell out of fashion But you can bless this world, when you show compassion So, don’t you tell me, someone ain’t human You wouldn’t like it, if I said it ‘bout you, man A child is a child no matter where he may start If you don’t get that, then you’re missing a beating heart Nobody has the right to inherit this earth And it ain’t your right to claim a higher worth Don’t you understand that the mother nation Is just another child of our civilisation So every tragic tale and every human loss Leaves all of humankind to count the cost It’s easy to despise or to close your eyes But don’t let your mortal soul, turn to dust So, don’t you tell me someone ain’t human You wouldn’t like it, if I said it ‘bout you, man A child is a child no matter where he may start If you don’t get that, then you’re missing a beating heart Yeah, don’t you tell me someone ain’t human You wouldn’t like it, if I said it ‘bout you, man A child is a child no matter where he may start If you don’t get that, then you’re missing a beating heart
