Civilization Had Many Faces Poem by Chan Mongol

CIVILIZATION HAD MANY FACES
Poet Chan Mongol
October 9 of 2019


Don't keep quiet onthe life and don't be shy
You have avenues to try, even before you die!
To cancel the right to do divorce is uncivil
You have the right to remarry if you feel.

To like or not to like, none can force you
It's you who has the right to feel, to view.
Your silence or any control from another
Suppression, depression, oppression occur.

Little interest grows so, pay attention
It can lead to make serious relation.
The interest has to be from both sides
If only from one, the hostility will arise.

Play with own head but not from outside
You will not regret if you honestly tried!
Keep looking but don't stop the ride
One life to go and make it for your side!

Widows had to commit suicide then there
A widow jumped in husband's funeral pyre!
That was the civilization, an adopted culture
Died there a widow and a first born daughter!

In Arab and in India, brutality was alright and civil
Deaths of widows and first born daughter were forcible.
For them, it was the glory of civilization against women
But we banned that kind of civilization done by cruel men!

Let our liberation be in the right way
Let no life becomes anybody's iron fist prey!
Right to live and choices for betterment must explore
Let men and women have choices without any horror!

In naming civilization, injustice still happen
Alas! Still, unlucky people fall in ditches often!
Life isn't a bed of roses, all must think about it
To fulfill proper urges, keep yourself fit!

Civilization had many faces at times, made by various men
Today, we banned bad laws and whatever was right then.
Feeding prisoners alive to hungry lions was royal culture
Some countries banned now death sentence for any prisoner!

We have to ensure individual territorial rights
We have to find better ways to stop wars and fights!
We have to start to make citizens noble and angel
Needing the proclamation of liberation by new people!

Each generation declared own ways as updated civilization
Each also banned older bad traditions in new liberation.
Transformation and modification are going on and on
I voice to uphold kindness, politeness and good emotion!
