Humanity

How did humanity manage to stray so far?

Why can’t we understand that one simple truth?

That we are all human, same skin, bone and hair

To change this world, we need to start with the youth

We have politicians who live to turn things sour

They curse and destroy peoples lives at will

They're driven by greed, money and power

If only they worked for the people and not make them ill

Then, we have terrorists who kill in the name of god

Driven by the propaganda of an unjust hatred

Complemented by racists and supremacists whose leaders are all frauds

They need to be taught right & wrong before they end up dead

There are also those who call themselves men in vain

Rapists, abusers, thieves and murderers just to name a few

On the underwear of humanity, these people are a stain

The saddest part of all this, is that its nothing new

Is this really the world we should proudly call home?

A world where innocent blood is spilled so easily?

Understand, only we change the world, together not on our own

With every motive encouraging peace and inspiring equality

Sharing status on social media is currently the norm

Though its not proper action, there’s a lot it could be used for

But simple voicing opinions and sharing thoughts wont weather the storm

We need to a lot more than status updates to hit people at their core

Humanity needs to change; it’s the only way we can move forward

We should start with our youth and teach them right from wrong

Encouraging peace and equality amongst all with every word

This is only way we as humans, can once again stand strong
