I an Proud To Be A World Citizen!
I an Proud To Be A World Citizen!
To The Blessed Beauty

I chose to embrace
the future of humanity,
the interdependence of the nations,
the unifying forces
of a multitude of factors
that are present in the world today.


I am a world citizen,
I am proud of my country:
the planet Earth.

I walk through the flower garden of humanity,
with tears rolling down my face,
while the words of Baha'u'llah reverberate
through my mind:
“The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”1

I ask:
When will humanity unite
as the single species it is?
"I’m proud to be a world citizen! God bless the human race and planet Earth!"2
