The Risk of Being Human
When you lick dust in wet season
Wallow in the mud in dry season
Celebrate joyfully in funeral places
And get tormented by fellow humans
Then you see the risk of being human
When men in robes eat their own tails
Get amused of humanity of some people
And deny being a brother’s keeper and;
When they mock at vendors of white dove
Then you regret being a being human
When the mind that reasons apes
The tongue that tell the truth lies
The hand that builds destroys
And the ears that hear are blocked
Then being a human being is great risk
When human deeds are captured yonder
Where Spying and reporting are prohibited
Accountability narrated to a panel one judge
Where witnesses are persona non-grata
Then it is clear being human is a big risk
