Humanity In a Bad Evolution
How surprising can a being gush out blood from another?
Or can the teeth of one taste the raw of his fellow's flesh?
How bad can a body with a soul rape an unready poor damsel?
Or can a working heart mastermind the death of millions?
It is unbelievable and cruel for a sound mind
to create and nurture the idea of ethnic cleansing.
We are ranked on top, in the Animal kingdom
but already becoming the least in actuality,
these soulless beings are now our fore-runners and love’s advocates
exemplified by the gratitude of a once wounded lion
to its human savior from the claws of death
and the cute mutualism shared
between an Elephant and a Dog.
Oh! we shamelessly should learn
from these less intelligent creatures.
All wars both religious and political have come and gone
acid poisoning on humanity through slavery is a forgotten episode
we now suffer in the horror of greed and wickedness
where one person sinks into his home, the treasury of millions
while the love of animals grows and cuts across different species.
Some of us of same race and even history
slaughter the other like a delicious meat.
The terror of Al-shabab, Al-queeda and ISIS
make love seemingly unattainable.
We bring back history's stains through wars
never learning from its lessons to avoid the stings.
We are beginning to lose touch with human kindness
as we flatter material items with the love
ought to be extended to our fellow species
leading to the one deep question
Is humanity evolving?
