In every soul, there's a spark of light,
A dignity that deserves respect in sight,
A flame that burns with hope and might,
And shines through darkness, piercing the night.

Each person, regardless of their station,
Has a right to be treated with consideration,
For in them lies a noble creation,
A unique gift, beyond all estimation.

Respect is the cornerstone of human relations,
It builds bridges and connects all nations,
It elevates us above our base temptations,
And leads us to our highest aspirations.

Dignity is a treasure that we must cherish,
It's the foundation on which we flourish,
It gives us a sense of purpose to nourish,
And empowers us to strive and flourish.

Let us treat each other with respect and grace,
Embrace our differences, and build a better place,
Let us honor each other's dignity with an open face,
And bring peace and joy to the human race.
