A Human Being

One should come into the world humanely

To grow up

To get educated

Should be in a human way

At work

One should receive enough humanely

Through respect, love, and honor.

One should live with his loved ones

And travel with pleasure

One should age humanely

To be a human being

Should be a human’s right…

BARBAROS İRDELMEN, Turkey
