Complementary Protocol for the Universal Social Convention
We human beings present today in this place demand:
1. That reason always win and never force.
2. That the majority find what the majority does, imposing its will on the minority, without the minority disappearing or having its right to become the majority restricted.
3. That any man can give any woman any flower in any part of any world, and that this woman give thanks for the flower not with just any smile, but with the best and only one.
4. That the morning no longer be a great question or a disaster waiting to happen; that the morning be just that: the morning.
5. That the night not be a cave of fear; that the night be a bed of desire.
6. That sadness be surprised with a simple look of disdain; and that happiness and laughter be free and never lacking.
7. That for everyone there be, always, bread to illuminate the table, education to feed ignorance, health to surprise death, land to harvest a future, a roof to shelter hope, and work to make hands dignified.
8. That the words and hearts of men and women no longer be prisoners of jails, tombs or threats.
9. That war be part of a long ago and foreign past, and that neither armies nor soldiers be any longer necessary.
10. That those who govern command obeying. That those who do not fulfill this, be changed for others.
11. That there always exists someone who is willing to struggle so that all that came before become not a demand, but a reality.
I took this from here.
