I Forget To Learn Myself-01

Birth is not from sin but from the best love, 
from the faithful love of two biological soul; 
From the gushing liquid I'm as if an aquatic animal 
Birth is not from the drop of Pacific Ocean 
but from the drop depth more than that 

This is I from the royal love, 
from that love me and my soul 
an animal of power of speaking, 
holder of best conscience, 
with six senses 
I'm human 

They make me Hindu, Buddhist, Jew, Christian, Muslim, Sikh 
title me with any other name, 
although from my birth I'm human, 
the best shaped animal of God 

Since then I learn what are taught to me 
I build me on that path they teach to build 
I learn sin or virtue how to teach me, 
wickedness, virtuous, hatred, vengeance or love, 
I learn the same as they teach me, 
Because I'm human, following being only! 

From the unknown time 
I learn all in divided laws, 
on the tone of faithfulness and unfaithfulness, 
in the verse of belief and disbelief, 
which are taught me from predecessors learning 
Because I'm human, following being only! 

From the Holy Scriptures 
I learn that are taught to me from good or worse, 
As pantomime doll I stay in mimicry 

I learn from the holy Vedas, Jabur, Tawrat, Tripitaka, 
The holy Injil, Qur'an, Granth Sahib…. 
Learn more from the Holy Scriptures 
Because I'm human, I believe God 
These teachings only for me among the whole created animals 
To be best conscious creation 
To be united animal, not to be divided follower!

When I look at other created animals 
then I find they learn own-self for the essence of life 
For them no need the Holy Scriptures 
So, am I worse than the other creation of the world! 

I learn which are taught to me 
I learn everything but forget to teach myself
