Here's To Humanity Poem by Angel Bhatia

Humans entered the picture,
2.5 million years ago.
We evolved with technology
But what about our ego.

Why be so cruel,
Why be so greedy.
We killed other species,
Just because we are needy.

Why segregate Blacks and Whites,
Why discriminate on race.
We are all in this together,
Sharing the same base.

Why be Xenophobic,
Why fight a war.
Spreading hatred will do no good,
But worsen it furthermore.

Why squash that tiny ant,
Why cage that free bird.
Using our strength for this,
Just makes our actions absurd.

Why cut that tree,
Why uproot that plant.
Is this how we repay,
The souls who gave us our want.

Why not some sympathy,
Why not some compassion.
Magnanimity is the key,
To our mentality's refashion.

We only live once,
So break free from this prison.
Because Humanity, my friend,
Is your foremost religion.
