Folk song about dignity by urban folk singer Susmit Bose:
We invite you to submit dignity-related multimedia artwork to Breakingranks.net. If your material is suitable for the site, we will gladly post it here and use it for e-postcards to send your friends. This section will also eventually showcase other media, standard and experimental, through which dignity messages are being transmitted.
Dignity poster submitted by Frank Biancalana of Chicago, IL:
Rid the World of Rankism
A poem plea by Francisco Gomes de Matos
When we put a person or people down
There’s more than an act of humiliation
Because it’s on Humanity we frown
And commit a human rights violation
When we put a person or people down
There’s more than an act of minimization
Because it’s on Human Dignity we frown
And disrespect the wisdom of cooperation
When we put a person or people down
There’s more than an act of domination
Because it’s on Human Equality we frown
And of Rankism we teach perpetuation
But if we treat a person or people well
So they will share their place in the Sun
The same humanizing story we will tell
Our World has become a Family of One
