Human Rights Poems from Cyprus

 

HUMAN RIGHTS

Equality is a right

regardless of religion

There is no need to fight

all people have a vision

Some have opinions

that are different from the rest.

We need to respect each other

and try to do our best.

It doesn’t matter where we are from

or what our gender is.

What matters is our safety

and the future of our kids.

Ariana Antoniou

Freedom and peace

Some things that is hard to have

And easy to lose……

Can you see that child crying?

It’s because they’ve violated his human rights

Because he is black and they are white.

And that woman over there

She’s being exploded every day

By people who don’t respect

her right for life

 

All that pain in their eyes

Just because they are criticized

Have you ever felt the way they do

When you tell them they’re not good

 

They might be black

And you’re white

They might be Muslims

And you are a Christian

But just to know

You have the same rights 

Stop abusing your wife

or beating your child

stop ruining your own life

And come with us to fight

so that everyone will have

the same human rights

Iouliana Argyri

Being Free

Being Secure

is a right for everyone

 

Believing what you want

Expressing  your opinion

is a right for everyone

 

Getting an education

Choosing your own future

is a right for everyone 

Despina Christou

Every creature

a real miracle

Every miracle

wants to live

If you are alive

then you have rights

Stand up for them

Fight for them

Don’t forget your right to live.

Save a few memories for tomorrow

Don’t just forget but forgive

Keep, accept and love

Overcome prejudice and bias

Then only you will win your right to live.

    Panayiota Taveloudi

Fight for Human Rights: Imagine a better world

Imagine our world was different

And there were no injustices

Imagine people were free and peace dominated

Imagine all of us were equal

Dancing harmoniously with the rhythm of life

But the threat of prejudices is hanging over us

And it makes people forget

They’ve forgotten the overwhelming feeling of hugging a friend

The priceless feeling of receiving a smile

See, we’re all the same:

Eyes that create diamonds when a sad feeling rules,

Lips that break into a sunny smile when we see people we love,

Hands that form a hug for those in need of one,

A heart beating in our chest ready to live

Embrace diversity. Accept, give, and care.

The world isn’t the place it used to be

We used to admire the starlit sky

Today, the city lights make us blind to the stars.

Think about the friends you have made

Act for the friends you haven’t met yet

A star alone may not shine enough

A hundred stars light up a small flame

Millions of stars can set the sky on fire.

Fight for human rights,

Fight for diversity,

Fight for the future friends,

Fight for life.

The Human Rights - Núria Garcia Roman

THE HUMAN RIGHTS

When we are born we have rights,

the right to be free.

Walk around the world

without asking for permission.

Have the freedom to believe

in anything you would like.

Because there aren’t any frontiers,

races, religions, ages, genders,

any colours or flags.

Just love people for who they are,

not for what they have.

No war. People need to live in peace,

respecting each other.

And working together to make

a better world for the future.

Because there aren’t any frontiers,

races, religions, ages, genders,

any colours or flags.

Equality between men and women.

We must build a new world

where there are no differences.

Where violence, discrimination

And abuses are over.

Because there aren’t any frontiers,

races, religions, ages, genders,

any colours or flags.

We’ll build this better world with love,

Peace, humility, equality and freedom.

With a good education,

And by being healthy and safe.

Without strange diseases that

kill so many children every day.

All of us deserve to have food and

a warm place to live

where we can enjoy our free lives.

Because there aren’t any frontiers,

races, religions, ages, genders,

any colours or flags.

By Núria Garcia Roman, Spain.

We are equal - Aleth Martí

Hey my friend!

There’s a thing called respect

There’s a thing called life

And you must respect them

‘cause all the people have one.

All the people fall in love

All the people have red blood

All the people have fear when things get hard.

Hey my friend!

If you think black people are stupid

Look at Nelson Mandela

If you think women are useless

Look at your mother

If you think the Arian race is the best

Look at Hitler.

All the people fall in love

All the people have red blood

All the people have fear when things get hard.

I only ask you to look around

And you will know that

We are equal.

By Aleth Martí Saumell, Spain.

Time to change - Laia Vizcarro

TIME TO CHANGE

In the year 1948

A Group of people met

They had one idea in their heads

Things can’t continue like this.

The right to be born free and equal

The right not to be discriminated

The right to live freely

The right to have a social security.

A letter was written

Where people reflected their rights

You can read it

It’s the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The right to freedom of expression

The right to have an education

The right to have responsibilities

The right to be free to move.

Round the wheel of life

There has come a moment of change

It isn’t a moment to sleep

It’s a moment to evolve.

By Laia Vizcarro, Spain.

The girl with no name - Marloes Zanen

THE GIRL WITH NO NAME

I once knew a girl,

There she was

Sitting alone

Far away from home.

People thought she was different

A stranger from the rest

What they didn’t know was she really did her best

But fitting in isn’t always easy.

For a start she had to work very hard

Back home, playing wasn’t even a choice

She had to scrub, rub and clean the house

That was her life, she didn’t know better.

If only she had known those two little words,

It would have made a change and

She would have been able to step out of her cage.

She also had dreams,

The dream of freedom,

Of feeling the wind in her face

And never again feel out of place.

Human rights, we take them for granted

But not for everyone it’s the same

Because there are many children

Like this girl with no name.

By Marloes E. Zanen, Spain

Peace - Marina Roselló

PEACE

Peace, you have avoided

So many Wars,

And bring along a better world.

Protect us.

Peace, you have taught us

To solve problems

And have guided us

On a road full of obstacles.

Peace, forever you,

You are the loyal friend

Who goes with us and

Never let us down.

You are our shadow,

Our speech and travel

With us all around the world

Bringing happiness.

Peace, give us warmth and love,

As if children,

Teach us to differenciate

Between good and evil.

Teach us to respect all the people,

Not to be afraid of the unknown

And the different,

Help us find a solution to conflicts.

What are resentments

compared to you?

Insignificant tickling which

Makes us angry while you smile.

Peace, you give us strength and joy,

Confidence and security.

Love and friendship

Helping us become better and better people.

Peace, you’ve often give us

A helping hand to stand up

And not to surrender

Before injustice.

Peace is not a simple word,

Peace is a feeling which is made

By a group of people who

Can make your life a better world.

By Marina Roselló, Spain.

The peace doesn't abuse the war - Cristina Garcia

If one day, all the wars finished,

If one day, all the children could eat,

If one day, there were no guns,

If one day, there were no slaves,

If one day, all the human rights were completed,

If one day, all the world could smile,

We could get freedom.

Sometimes the war abuses the peace,

Sometimes the peace makes a little abuse to the war.

If there were no bullets in the night,

If the nights weren’t too dark,

The days would be so clear.

If some soldiers could see all the pain,

If the poor people could work and eat,

If the leaders could say

“I’ll make a fair world”

If all the children could survive,

We could get the peace

We could get a smile.

Sometimes the war abuses the peace.

The peace doesn’t abuse the war.

Poetry Contest for Chieti "I have a wish" by Elena Costa

I HAVE A WISH

I have a wish

It’s to understand the World

That’s a difficult thing to do

Without a big effort.

If we are all human

We have to learn,

Regardless of being European or African,

To treat one another in the same way.

So I can’t expect

I must act

And with your help

We can make it right.

We are talking about life,

The world and mankind

We are talking

About human rights.

So let’s put our hands up

Move our feet

If we really want it,

We have to take risks.

Justice or liberty

These are human rights

Be, believe or think

Just to stay alive.

I have a wish

It’s to understand the world

We could reach this

Together, with our work.

By Elena Costa Llamas, Spain.
