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
