A new pledge of allegiance

From Francis Ford Coppola, via Megalopolis:

I pledge allegiance
to our human family,
and to all the species
that we protect.
One Earth, indivisible,
with long life, education, and justice
for all.

The original pledge of allegiance (a) was composed by a socialist minister in 1892, and later amended to include "under God" during the red scare (in 1954).
