MY HUMAN
RIGHT
#HumanRightsDay It
is my Human Right to live life to the fullest, to Breath Air without inhaling
toxins that slowly destroy my well-being, to Drink Water without it being
polluted or dirty. The Creator gave me these Human Rights, but our Caucasian
brothers of the past took this Human Right away from us. With their greed of a better world, their
riches that blinded them to the negative
long-term outcomes. In the process they
forgot the simple Human Right of other fellow Human Beings, because they also
became blinded with the Power it bestowed. Unfortunately, this greed, riches
and power will probably take a few lifetimes to overcome, because of its deep
rooted outcomes. I could be very angry
for these simple Human Rights taken away from me, angry like so many of my
fellow Indigenous People, who have the right to be angry. I can't live life to the fullest when I am
angry, because my time on Mother Earth is so short. I will however keep fighting for what is
right, fighting and changing those long-term negative outcomes, and finding
positive solutions to truly create a better world, so I can live life to its
fullest, the way it is meant to be lived.
Grand Chief George Manuel said keep it simple stupid, words to live
by. I choose to be a solution maker, to
find ways to better our relationships, to hold the hands of my fellow Caucasian
Brothers until they no longer walk blind, even if they disagree. For the Human thing to do is keep treating my
fellow Human-Beings like Human-Brings, even if it's good or bad, for that is a
simple Human Right. Let's all celebrate #HumanRightsDay Respectfully yours Peter Leech
