The brutes called human

Legacy, paradox and affirmation Bound the human society Distinct from nature's other entities We create circles and boundaries Move within them Restricting our expressions Virtues, traits and attributes The human endowments Suffocate inside like a pigeon In captivity Life is governed by laws of Cosmic consciousness The man-made confines Are rooted in subjectivity, Contrary to the order of nature The jungles, rivers and oceans Abounding assortments of diversity Personifying mutuality and reciprocity Are ruled by freedom and simultaneity They do not fight From the time of Adam Never a day has passed When we sat at peace Blood flows cheaper than water Cries and tears do not matter The thirst continues unquenched We are not ashamed and Take pride in being human With ego, arrogance and greed We are brutes beyond doubt
