Human Life Matters Poem by John Sensele

Human complexion spans several hues
Which in essence summarise human views
On the sanctity an dignity of human life
Whether red, yellow, black or white without any hint of strife.

Human eyes span a spectrum of colours
With neither superiority nor inferiority of odours
Because humanity lies far beyond superficial phenotypes
Small minds band around as human archetypes.

Human noses sometimes resemble eagles' beaks
And sometimes sharpen their tips or flatten the clicks
Emitted by cartilage without committing sacrilege
Endowing nasal privilege or holding any folks hostage.

Human blood circulates the same hemoglobin
Because it needs the same type of iron if poured in a tin
Where platelets coagulate the same way
At the same speed with neither bias nor delay.

Humankind in the new millennium spells homo sapiens
Who archeology and anthropology claim in science
Originated in Africa and funnelled to America
And learnt to play Ska and Reggae music in Jamaica.

Humankind only succeeds in scoring own goals
When divisive forces compartmentalize souls
Into racial pigeonholes and embark on decimation
Of some of her own subgroups due to quaint theories of racial discrimination.
