Oath of Office

I hereby
do solemnly pledge
to love people as a whole
race
through land mines
of scattered souls
with raised fists
and the ancient battle cry,
We are one

set of wings on a world
that is soaring
at great heights
forever fearing
the effects of such altitudes

but I promise
there is a way to be
fearful
and honest

all it takes is a leap
from recognizing
mankind
to accepting all of
humanity.

Excellent ending my darling. I especially loved in the first stanza the line break before "race" and "Through land mines of scatters souls" But my absolute favie was "forever fearing the effects of such altitudes" Beautiful =^.^=
