Lost Humanity Poem by Jaishree Nair
Lost Humanity
Can we call ourselves humans?
Cold blooded clubbing, battering, slaughtering in mid street
Heedless of the blood shed
Intent on butchering fellow -beings for reasons trivial.
Medias highlighting the flash....
Letting loose the built-up temper...
Mindless of the consequences
Loveless, faceless, a curse to society
Excitement of incitement to inflict pain
Disgracing human race...
An animal by name- a dog
Proved to be more human
Rescuing a new born from garbage dumps
abandoned by a rational being!
Walking through the streets
Proud and dignified
Holding the infant by the neck
And placing it in an orphanage
With not a scratch on the delicate skin..
Amazed by the deed -indeed,
The rational minds pondered,
An unusual sight - they chorused,
A phenomenon... They agreed....
Rationalism drowned in temper tantrums
Irrationalism surfacing
from the darkness of ignorance
Human elements fast fading
The brotherhood lost in the desert of values...!
The world - a better place to live in
If all minds are emptied of vile thoughts
And filled with goodness
to sow the seeds of harmony...
A whole scenere to depict the target of the poem.very vividly the scenes to feel the spark it lit its flame.
Rationalism drowned in temper tantrums Irrationalism surfacing from the darkness of ignorance Human elements fast fading The brotherhood lost in the desert of values.. Bitter truth of present world. don't know where the world is heading. Should learn from these animals the lessons of humanity. very nicely penned down.10
