Manish Kumawat Poet Free verse

Hey Listen!

Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you love your name.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Did you choose it in your game? 

Hey Listen! Tell me something!
I heard you proud of your gender.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Is it really your choice or nature? 

Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you love your nation.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Which form did you fill for admission?
 
Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you proud of your religion.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Do you know it's real vision? 

Hey listen! Tell me something!
I heard you are lucky to be human.
OK, it's your choice, but one thing!
Does your heart have compassion?

Alison A Smith October 3, 2026 at 4:51 AM A compelling, chant-like free-verse poem whose repeated “Hey, listen!” creates an urgent, confrontational rhythm. The recurring questions effectively challenge inherited identities—name, gender, nation, religion, and even humanity—while the final turn toward compassion gives the piece its strongest and most humane resonance. Manish Kumawat October 3, 2026 at 5:03 AM Yes, it is because compassion makes humans different from other spices, compassion is the highest level of consciousness.
