Humans of the 21st Century

humans of the 21st century
has failed nature 

humans of the 21st century
has failed humanity 

humans of the 21st century
has placed hate over love 

humans of the 21st century
only knows history
but repeat same
history events of shames
to flitter our ego 

humans of the 21st century
we never learn from 
one history ugly event
and make it better to our 
benefit with change


human of 21st century
what will be our legacy 
what will  our history say 
what will be our lessons
of moral values 
to the next 
coming generation
I keep asking?????

will it be wars 
will it be isolation
will it be ignorance
will it still be racism
will it still be tribalism
will it be corruption
will it be devaluation
will it be intimidation
will it be humans division
will it be a sad history
I keep asking the 
humans of the 21st century
?????
