Mission of the Human Being
MISSION OF THE HUMAN BEING
We are wild creatures, wild beasts
for them
Their adjectives unreasonable,
Unrealistic
Just as savage, cruel, inhuman, and ferocious
Not civilized and uncompassionate
Sun sneering and moon bantering
at civilized human beings
Every day, every night
Firearms, explosives, mass destruction weapons
Are not our inventions
Merciless murders, massacres and many more
And killing without purpose
Not in our inhuman lexicon
Wisdom flying beyond the planet earth
Imperiousness caused
Destruction than construction,
And shortened the life span
Of everybody
As well as planet earth.
How civilized are you?
