Natural Rights of Human Beings

Osamu Ichiyoshi

Autumn, 2022

No one has the right

To rob others of their rights.

Everyone is equal in oneself.

The human rights stem from just being human.

Everyone is free as human beings.

Our ancient ancestors were a part of the nature.

Everyone lived equally naturally.

At the advent of agriculture,

Grew private ownership.

On struggles over ownership of lands,

The winners ruled the losers,

Thus came the powers with civilization.

The power is greedy without a limit,

Decays without checking,

Causes curse of civilization.

The plights of wars caused by the powers,

Are deep beyond any measure.

In civilization live people unnaturally.

J.J.Rousseau has taught

The unnatural ruling power is nothing,

Other than the natural rights ,

Captured by the rulers from the people.

G.Washington has shown the way;

The commander entrusted the power by the people

Should execute it to achieve the mission and

At the end of the term return it and oneself,

Back to the people.

A. Lincoln defined democracy;

Government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Everything rises by law of nature,

Everyone must act by the law of human beings,

Which defines the rights and duties of the people,

Hence be on the whole wish of the people.

The powers must be checked by the law,

And the people be true human beings.
