humanity
Humanity: Are We All Here?
I wrote this while I was feeling numb, yet somehow I managed to say the right things without any thought process whatsoever at all. Does that make sense?
Humanity, at last!
whose beauty is admired
heart moves in good faith
acts; empathy, the north star
Anything evil is shunned
violent uniformed men
whose weapons always
flaunt on air
powerless,
down on their
wounded knees
Corrupt leaders;
maggots, vultures,
criminals!
soulless fixtures
whose end
shall be as tragic
as the terrors and horrors
of days and nights
they have inflicted upon
the innocent
across the lands
Humanity sees,
hears, feels, lives through
betrayals, atrocities
now they hold on
to their power
they understand
the true meaning
of their existence
Oh, but they must
stop engaging,
stop saluting,
stop bowing,
stop listening,
stop applauding,
stop praising,
stop acknowledging,
stop participating
for
maggots
vultures
criminals
they
do not have
a place
in the heart
of humanity
do not deserve
their time
and energy
do not own
their names
Humanity fights
for each other’s
common good,
protecting each other’s
faiths,
raising each other’s
children,
employing each other’s
brothers and sisters,
learning each other’s
songs and dances,
opening their minds
to each other’s
just and humane
ideologies,
appreciating each other’s
unique languages,
participating in
each other’s cultures,
holding each other’s
hands,
reading each other’s
literature and poetry,
comforting each other
in times of need,
living, surviving,
growing, evolving,
progressing
together
Together.
Humanity is
as strong as the power
of the universe.
Once together,
nothing is broken,
no one is broken,
no land is broken.
Humanity at last.
Humanity at last.
