Anil Deo Poet Epigram

I Am Not a Human Being

I Refuse to be a Mere Human Being

Does it matter what you say within?
Not long ago, we were tribe this or that, this caste, that clan ...
The WORD tells a different story for this reason:
In the image of Creator, we are like Him
But, how exactly? May be THE question!
Now, it has come to my attention ...
That “I am a speaking spirit being” –
That is why life and death are in the tongue:
Words we say can heal and just as wildly, kill
It is easier to kill a man, than to unspeak a curse upon him
