Excellence Award in the 'Word Zone 2016' competition

To be human is to have rights.
Rights to be happy in your life.
To live in a country,
In a place where you have a voice.
To be able to speak up, with a choice.

To belong is to be free.
To be loved, have a family.
Feel like you're accepted,
For what you take and what you bring
Because belonging should be a cha-ching!
