Premium Member The Human Race Called Mankind
The third millennium of what?
Man is lame
clearly lost the will to walk,
he’s blind
no longer able to reason.
His fingers cast hope
upon the keyboard,
his mind creates
trends upon the screen,
he inflicts pain, a global sadomasochist
he sees others in his historical
image!
He plants his seed
most upon stony ground,
he offers peace

Premium Member The Human Race
you planned your race
to run at pace
and win at any cost

but ran too fast
and finished last
so the prize you sought was lost

had you taken time
to the finish line
you might still have your health

and realize
life's greatest prize
is the prize of life itself....

The Human Race
There is seriously something wrong
With the entire human race
Common sense has left the premises
And ignorance has taken its place
I take a look around me 
And everywhere I look
The ones who hide from reality
Are in every corner and nook
These people walk around blind
To the reasons we...

The Human Race
I'm tired of seeing 
racism.

I'm tired of being 
stereotyped, when 
we don't even know 
each other.

I'm tired of being 
hated on, because 
I talk different...

I walk different, 
I look different,
I dress different.

Underneath 
we're all the same.

One race 
the human race.

Why can't everybody 
get along, there's...

Human Race the Planets Grim Reaper
In the magic kingdom Disney's pen he did draw
A slightly dozy tiger and a bear named winnie the poo
The Lion king and Simba who brought joy to all who saw .
Dumbo and his big ears amazed the world and flew.
and king Louie in the jungle,...

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST IS AT HAND.  THE HUMAN RACE.  DO UNDERSTAND.
Someone's  CHEATING. Someone's  LOSING.
Someone's BREATHING.  Someone's WHEEZING.
Someone's GROWING. Someone's  KNOWING.
Someone's EATING. Someone's  SLEEPING.

Cops are SHOOTING. Few are LOOTING.
Someone's CHASING. Someone's RACING.
Someone's SELLING. Someone's  YELLING.
Someone's DREAMING. Someone's...

If the human race depended on me to survive
We'd all soon be extinct
Because you need two to tango
Making it harder to get someone pregnant
Than you think.

I suppose I could open a sperm bank
But the interest rate I guess would be low
I have everything
But women still...

A Special Specie of Human Race: An Ode To A. Aladekomo
I know of a man. A man full of gratitude and humility for all he is and all he has
He has an eternal fault: an obsession to make a difference; to make an impact
To sow where he care not to reap
And give where, he does...

The Human Race Autopilot-Ing
The heart of the mountain burst into the endless sea
And here lies the ash in the salt we are washed
Black and white and the grey air between us

Since time first sounded the gunshot to the human race
Footsteps resounds through the smoke and gun powder 
Can...

O Fragile Life of the Human Race...
Ever thought of the fragile life
of the Human Race?  Think again,
and it comes with that poignant question,
" Why do we live less than a forest tree? "
Even a turtle lives longer than us...
it must know the secret to longevity!

These perfect bodies will lose their...

The Coffin of Human Race
Year is 3035
And here I lie in my capsule
Waiting for the great End
Or may be deep in my heart
For an Alchemist
To come and show me
Some light
Among this dark plight... 

The chemicals I used
To make my Oxygen 
Is almost finished 
The pills I take for vitamins...

The Human Race, 2017

There is no ‘White Supremacy’; there is no ‘Black Lives Matter’
But who has been refueling
                 To make this hatred fatter
It's never black and white, but everything...

If This Was the Last Goodbye

If this was the last

| If this was the last_goodbye |

But, what if this was the last time I cried,
Don't want to be hidden behind lying scrys.
The world forgotten on their prying device,
Humanity alone algorithmic thrice.

Heaven on you shoulder beckons you home,
Mirror-sucking...
