We have forgotten who we are. We have forgotten who we are We have alienated ourselves from the unfolding cosmos We have become estranged from the movements of the earth We have turned our backs on the cycles of life We have forgotten who we are. We have sought only our security We have exploited simply for our own ends We have distorted our knowledge We have abused our power We have forgotten who we are. Now the land is barren And the waters are poisoned And the air is polluted. We have forgotten who we are. Now the forests are dying And the creatures are disappearing And the humans are despairing. We have forgotten who we are. We ask for forgiveness We ask for the gift of remembering We ask for the strength to change. We have forgotten who we are. - U.N.
