Where Is Humanity Poem by Bharati Nayak

Where Is Humanity

Rating: 4.2


Where isHumanity

Men, women and children
fleeing for their lives
Leaving behind
Their homelandand all belongings.

Any time bullets or bombs can kill them,
Tiger or lion can devour them,
Theymay be drowned in river or sea
Hostile weather may suck their lives
They may be wiped
By hunger, thirst or disease.

What these innocent people have done
What is their sin to get the punishment of death
Whatis their fault that
to such torturethey are subjected?

Did a separate God create these people?
Is God a German or Jew?
Is God a Muslim or Hindu?
Is God. Black or white?
To which race does Hebelong?

Oh God,
We are not humans
As we close our eyes,
When humanity is killed.

Oh God, Jew or German,
Hindu, Muslim or Christian,
Black or white,
Please,
Please, save the Mankind.

God will save man very soon, though at the moment the wicked flourish, there is a reason why wickedness has been permitted until now, your poem touches my heart, how man can devour each other is horrifying to me and sometimes relegion is sadly the reason

It is hard to describe the pain we feel for those poor refugees. Let us who believe in humanity make every effort to alleviate their suffering. It is a heart-wrenching plea from a very fine poet

Thank you poet Tom Billsborough for your kind words.We should never forget that we are humans first. Country or nations come next.We should not remain blind to the sufferings of innocent people and do our small effort to alleviate their sufferings.It is heartwarming that poets world wide voice their concern about the refugee problems and I feel that their voice does not go vain.

the feeling of this one, this prayer, bharati, is familiar to me. technology makes us aware of tragedy far away, and what are we to do with this knowledge? like you, i pray. my daily one is Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as in heaven. and i, like you i expect, help, give, to address some of the hurt. perhaps you know the saying, i'd rather light one candle than curse the darkness? comfort to your tender heart, bharati. -glen

You have made here a heart touching inscription on humanity. I quote..... Did a separate God create these people? Is God a German or Jew? Is God a Muslim or Hindu? Is God. Black or white? To which race does He belong? Beautiful poem.
