We are humans, the finest product of evolution,
Fit to be the ruler of the world by mere definition,
We effortlessly turn away our faces from a man dying
on the street,
Illiterates and jobless may worry; we don’t ‘even a
little bit’.
We boast of our clean house and clean clothes,
And it is the same we who spits in government offices
and roads!
We ardently ask for mercy from our merciful father,
But to the poor chap, hardly we show any mercy ever
But worry not, for we are the flag bearers of new
age and culture,
And these concepts are for the old fashioned sympathizers.
Instead we taunt and entertain ourselves at the
expense of the poor mad beggar
We boast proudly about our religion and culture,
Yet it is some among us who molests somebody’s
sister, mother or daughter.
We proclaim that animals are unpredictable
And we the civilized of all have the right to kill
for mere perishables (don’t we?).
We fight often in the name of god and religion,
When the massage of all religions have been of love
and compassion.
But these words are only for the fools to follow (isn't it?)
We are learned enough (aren't we?), why think about
these things and wallow?
Skeptics may say whatever till their voice slowly begins
to wane…
Still we are and will always remain human
The finest product of evolution!!
