What a paradox it is,
What a cursed being the earth bears,
Contrary to revered blessings,
Is there any sign or carved symbol?
To identify everyone as a whole,
In the flesh buried, at the back or on the forehead,
Being incapable of exploring,
What is given as human being?!
What is endowed what is given,
Converted into hell from heaven,
People have dug a hole to be swallowed,
As a whole,
A cave to be shield,
To project their greed,
At the end of the day to be afraid,
Of all the deeds they did,
A racial case, which is not candid,
It is enough to cite,
On earth absolutely right,
A cancerous move we all have to fight,
Why do people go to another place?
Across the planet with no respective relative, or race,
They simply assume that people are everywhere,
Human beings are there with no demarcation,
Without territorial fraction,
In the domicile where allowed to host human life,
Yes, being a human being is enough,
It is not a matter of tribal linkage,
Neither social status nor language,
If one asks what is the center,
They may have answer hereafter,
Whether they are Caucasian, Mongolian or Negroid,
There is a human blood,
Human being,
Human race,
The sacred and prettily gracious,
However, these days, it becomes malicious,
Following acts of conflict traders, evil-minded beings,
Conflict industrialists principled with diabolic spirit,
Always distrusting every time culprit,
When do people wake up to level and fill the gap,
Being human is enough the tumorous trap,
Language is nothing other than conveying messages,
Eve signs can replace it to communicate to pass ideas,
It is gradually adapted no matter how far places,
People come from and go to others,
A human being is being dwindled,
Following modernization,
As a result of global trade,
For it accelerates dehumanization,
The priceless life devoid of value,
The sacred nature varnished with cursed glue,
Every life matters, each individual counts,
But what alters human being to fierce wild animal,
Merely running towards personal goal,
Unless they feel the pain of others,
Putting themselves in others’ shoes,
Where are elements of human beings?
It is this time one can say human being,
Becomes a sacred cursed being by will,
Yes, egos are everywhere, self-centered is inevitable,
As everyone wants things for them possible,
But can never be this much evil,
Since there are irrefutable human elements,
That distinct them from desolate animals,
Which subconsciously run activities?
True, wars can break out,
Due to either territorial or attitudinal blackout,
Definitely, actions are carried out unknowingly or
Calculatingly,
However, must not be this much ugly,
Gloomy to the extent that alters human nature,
To be out of this creature,
One should do things as per the unanimously,
Accepted human elements,
To be rescued from being the cursed sacred beings!!!
To help peace, love prevail on earth,
Without hostility, with no undying dearth.
