Oh Civilization!

Rating: 5.0


it's wonderful the civilization of the world,
amazing the world dwellers are
civilized they're as well as I'm really!

with their civilization I declare-

My language is English, Arabic, Mandarin, French, Bengali, etc
I'm civilized!
-Really! Don't know!
I'm fully literate on grammar,
highest educated on economics, politics, geology, theology, spaceship, etc
I'm a doctor, engineer, judge, barrister, scientist, economist, philosophers, poets, etc
inquisitive educated on the nuclear, entire solar system
I'm civilized! How brilliant literate civilized I am!
-Really! Shrewd and funny!

I have and drive Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, Lykan Hypersport, Aston Martin, Ferrari, etc
I'm truly civilized!
I show off Diamond Wedding Gown, Yumi Katsura White Gold Dress, Alexander Amosu Vanquish II Bespoke, Dormeuil, etc
I show off Ruby Slippers, Rita Hayworth, Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, etc
I have on wristwatch of Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, etc
I show off the necklace of Harry Winston, Cartier, Buccellati, etc
all through I'm true civilized!
-Really! Don't know! Yes!
-How boastful aristocratic civilized I am!

I live in Las Vegas, Zürich, Geneva, Hong Kong, New York, Paris, Dubai, etc
I'm human of Royal Penthouse Suite, Grand Hyatt Cannes, Faena Hotel, Laucala Island, etc
I drink Cognac Grande Champagne, Diva Vodka, Dalmore 62, etc
I'm truly civilized!
-Really! How!
-How gorgeous civilized I'm!

I'm a loyal devotee, theist, true pilgrimage
I go to Haridwar-Rishikesh, Mathura-Vrindavan Sephoria, Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, Tiberias, Bodh Gaya, Masjid al-Haram, Kaaba, etc
I truly know holy the Vedas, the Tripitaka, the Talmud, the Bible, the Quran, etc
I'm only true civilized!
-Oh, ho, ho really! Yes!
-How religious fanatical civilized I am!

I fight in the name of eradication of terrorism!
I kill innocent hungry peoples on the name of the abolition of violence
I show my muscle superpower and kill ingenuity peoples
I slaughter the naïve peoples for the sake of religion, heaven, and God!
I'm king, queen, a prime minister, president, chancellor, patriotic soldier
I kill the righteous peoples of the world illegally for the sake of frontiers protection
because all through I'm civilized!
-Really! ! !
-How super droll patriotic civilized I am!

how wonderful east, west, north, south busiest sides of my civilization!
there die thousands of peoples for true famine, disaster in all seasons in the world
(as like as in Comoros, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Nepal,
Chad, Benin, Sudan, Burundi, Congo, Liberia, Niger, etc)
but on my civilized eyes of hatred- these dying peoples are uncivilized!

I'm civilized!
- Really!
I am civilized!
O civilization
Who are you? What are you?
Still, don't know
though I declared I'm civilized!
How mysterious colorful funny civilized I'm!

Some people claimed they are civilized yet their acts belie such claim. They are even beyond barbarism and terrorize humanity. A perceptive and incisive write well crafted. Another powerful write on humanism.
