Humane Paths Poem by Houda Boukassoula

Humane Paths



Why blindly follow ancestors' paths
Said grandpa almost out of breath

-Then I'll look for a new path
Outside the planet Earth
I answered expecting his mirth
He claimed in objection
-The problem is not in directions
But in the true intentions
Look for humane paths
Inside your brain and heart
Look at all humans equally
Accept and appreciate diversity
Go towards philanthropy
Not to brag but out of empathy
Only these humane paths
Will lead to human liberation
From unfairness and oppression
If they ease your weary soul
They will be the right path for you.
And to the entire human race

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
HUMANE PATHS

Why blindly follow ancestors' paths

Said grandpa almost out of breath

Hoping to change their world

Conveying the same message

Heading to different directions

-Then I'll look for a new path

Outside the planet Earth

I answered expecting his mirth

He claimed in objection

-The problem is not in directions

But in the true intentions

Look for humane paths

Inside your brain and heart

Look at all humans equally

Accept and appreciate diversity

Go towards philanthropy

Not to brag but out of empathy

Only these humane paths

Will lead to human liberation

From unfairness and oppression

If they ease your weary soul

They will be the right path for you.
