Asia covers approximately 30% of the world's land area and another 8.7% of its total surface. The place was given to some of the first civilizations in existence and has grown to a continent of 4.4 billion people. The oceans stand in three's around the continent and from the north one will find the Arctic Ocean, at the south the Indian Ocean, and lined on the east lies the Pacific. It is a continent which houses China and India and some of the largest economies in the world. It carries a name dating back to classical antiquity and was named more for its human geography rather than its land mass. - from Wikipedia.

United Nations primary purpose "is promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion", and member states pledge to undertake "joint and separate action" to protect these rights. - Wikipedia.
I find myself reaching for a right in which I have been ultimately denied and pray for necessary assistance and intervention by reaching high, even though I am hoping low. Thus, this piece is adequately named, United Nations, in light of my ongoing problem.
