Humanity
I see humanity cuddled on footpath
Dehydrated in summers
Shivering in winters
Tattered and battered
Seeking shelters
Oh, humanity, what a tender child
Staring with wide eyes!
Or at times a wrinkled face
With toothless grin
At times, a young girl
Bold and vulnerable
As we drive away
Avoiding the eye
And the sympathy
Humanity stares boldly
And walks away
We have our battles to wage
Days to face
And a future to create
Humanity has no place in it
We have learnt to look away
And Humanity?
Round the corner
Evil finds her and
scoops her in its arms
For it’s victory dance
We did not save her
Yet we lament
Triumph of evil
And death of Humanity
Evil did not kill humanity
It was our collective apathy!
We held on to our survival
While our soul was killed!
