Mankind

That’s the game of
evolution Darwin said
Only to survive would
be the one who is
fittest ,
The one who does the
charity ,
Thinks he can replinsh
rules of society ,
Whether that’s massacre
all over there is
bloodshed ,
The one to suffer more is
never the power holding
man ,
Thinks he can stop the
disaster but discovers
his own made calamity ,
Build big skyscrapers
But stoops low each time
to bring more shame on
humanity ,
Could have done million
of things with that mind ,
They mask it under dirty
politics and brings down
mankind.

Everything’s fair in love
and war ,
How did you not find
child’s laughter pure ? ,
He thinks his father
is daily wage worker ,
He is to tender to
understand he got
killed in mass
murder ,
His mother laid beside
him her soul leaving
her body ,
She was to a daughter
to somebody ,
He will be sitting there
not leaving her mother
on the roadside ,
Tell me how to explain
the child meaning of
geopolitical ugly game how
to explain him genocide ,
How to fight them all
when they are combined ? ,
They will write history
with his lost innocence
bring back shame to
mankind.

The countries will
be bringing the aid ,
They will trade women’s
body for the bread ,
There once a history
resided no it left with
no trace ,
Now only photographs
evident before everything
got ruined turned
into carcass ,
Each time they all
come in hopes of
better opportunities ,
Before they all end it
into man made
calamity ,
They build missiles ,
bombs and machine
guns most intelligent
creatures built their
own death traps ,
History’s evident this
has happened and will
keep happening abridging gap ,
Only to some other
countries in some
order conditions under
different states ,
Even seeing the
catastrophe even
devil joined his hands
and prayed ,
They will be keep making
mistakes of the kind ,
Nothing ever learns is human
Sometimes it’s shameful to
be one of mankind .

Thank you for reading!

  1. Our blindness to the value of cooperation and compassion is blatantly deafening. It is difficult the whispers of peace in the din of conflict. Most the time attempting to imagine a more sane world and trying to release love into it is the most beneficial act we can preform.

  2. We are all shrouded in the failure of mankind to value mankind. I think you nailed it with “they will write history with his lost innocence”.
