When I Think Of... Poem by Mohammad Younus

When I think of...
...the basic identity of Man...
...it comes to my mind...
...at the first thought...
...that before anything else...
...we're humans first of all;
We are all human beings...
...children of the same God..
...before and beyond anything else;

This human and divine identity...
...is not true of only such persons...
...as we deem to be born sacred...
...than we are;
I do not want to join their blind followers;
Indeed, I tend to believe that all humans....
...without any distinction of...
...caste, creed, colour, ethnicity or religion...
...are the children of the same God.

When we are not ready to accept the fact...
...that all humans have got the potential...
...to improve and attain to perfection...
...we freeze our humanity and become...
...rather stale and muddy entities;
As human beings, we must seek our...
...fulfilment through refinement...
...of our wisdom and intellectual growth.
