Humanity Is Crying Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Humanity is crying,
And I heard.
Helpless I am,
Sorry to say,
Though a man.

Sorry to say,
I have forgotten love,
Forgotten mercy.
I have remembered
Only territory,
Only sovereignty,
No meaning with life,
I know though.
I want to win the world,
With my false pride,
With so many speeches,
No truth is there though.

I care not anyone
Here and there.
By hook or crook,
I want power, prestige
And I want all prizes
With no value, though.

I have no time to see,
The men who are hungry,
The men who are thirsty,
The men who have no shelter,
The men who have no clothes.
I have no time to call them
And provide scope to
Give them a meaning of life.

Humanity is crying,
I heard, But I am silent.
Am I inhuman? or a man
With no human nature?
If I am reluctant to give
Human value, I am sure,
I am there to put my life
In danger. And peril -
My future.
