It is completely based on self analysis and introspection to declare I am the civilized for anybody regarding honesty, humanitarianism and righteousness of oneself...you have very well thought on this theme and have presented a great poem...thanks with a 100 for your effort

Yes- civilization is not rich country, beautiful location, smart dressing up, aristocratic life, elite society, poorest surviving life, high qualified education, bourgeois' in-activeness…………! Civilization is the conscience of humanity. Great writing

Education, wealth, rich condition, aristocratic life; elite class... etc is not the measure pole of true civilization; Civilization is the name of humane consciense where love, sympathy, unity, friendship...all goodness of mind are hidden gracefully
