To Be Human

Where being human is to hate purely on the faulty colour of one's skin; If such anger can be pointed to those who are not our artificial kin

When one plows his car through the chorus of laughter, and a child is buried under rubble due to arrogance trying to survive the hereafter 

Where humans choose to elect a racist to promote freedom, in a world where genocide is thought to be martyrdom 

Where we are happy to blame a billion, due to the faults of a minion led by a flawed opinion 

Where the audacity of being born a female is a death sentence for some, prison for others and badluck for all

Where one can become a millionaire with a sextape, and others seek fame for forcible rape 

Where blind denial about the devastation of the land can be debated; all in the meanwhile, the planet remains sedated, even after all the facts have been stated 

When we build walls to keep out the needy, and promote palaces for the wealthy... You tell me, who's greedy?

Where humans hate of those caught in cycles of neglect, and due to prior prejudices can all spot a likely suspect 

Where hate is ingrained in those pure of heart, and liberals fear from being labelled caring and smart

If this is what it takes to be a human, the real meaning of being a true man

Might be a monster and perhaps quite rightly so

But it is the human I fear most, for they are the cause of all my sorrow.
