I belong to a group,
community embracing
all people and the world:
“The earth is one country
and mankind its citizens,”
prominent theme explains.
No one left out,
no one ignored.
Leaders chosen by election
as acts of prayer.
Prayer is a way of life:
work is worship
when done as service.
Creating art is also
a form of worship.
Agriculture is
highest profession,
teaching follows.
Service to others
is the highest good.
Equality is foundational:
of women and men,
all races, colors,
while diversity,
“flowers of one garden,”
standard action in
Bahá’í Community.
