Best Humanitarians Poems

My Soul IQ, in general, is fine,
but nowhere near as high as that of souls
who live a life as though it is divine -
humanitarians with lofty goals
like Ghandi and the many others who
affect great changes in society.
I think of common folks who also do
uncommon good...

Conflicted, dressed like a Santa Claus, Ed ponders the magical delight of Christmas time.   Is it only for Christians, or can it be for him too?  He likes this time of year, people are nice.
Bethlehem, Wisemen, Prince of Peace born in a...

A wicked heart blinds the eyes and steals the soul's redemptive growth
A corrupted mind is never forgiving and hates a tender smile
But because there is an abundance of joy built in strength
I see my fellowmen as humanitarians and as friends

I am the modern-day Bob Marley...

Oh who would dare to speak for whales,
Yet who would not join in this fight, 
Their poetry of depths unknown,
The power in their mighty tales,
Deep rumbling hymn in dark sea's night,
Excited bursts from blowholes blown,
Ecstatic breach that touches sky,
Their world proclaimed in ghostly cry?

What sounds...

Unnumbered human corpses
mutilated and spread
like illegally-shot elephants in Waza Park!
From ‘man know thyself’
to ‘man hates himself’-
humans mutilate humans!

Future-bound glorious infants,
feeble moms
and luck-abandoned dads
bombed, suffocated, shot and slain
by politico-economic drunks!
Yawning stomachs here,
blood-dripping arms there,
open-mouth frozen heads here,
rotting breasts there,
decomposing legs here…

We are in Homs,
we are in...

We are customary people.
A democracy that is unequal.
Structured through immigration
Native to the form 
We embrace diversity.
We are humanitarians born.
The thread of our beings unites us.
Grandparents Mother Father Sisters Brothers Uncles Aunts Nieces Nephews Cousins Husband Wife and Child
Friends within a world of nationalities
We are the...

Terrorism is a villainous violence, 
Used by those who disagree,
Bloodshed breaks the somber silence,
Between those who feel unfree. 

However, when one disagrees
With how the system works,
They are targeted by an intelligent team
Of thieves who wear white wicked smirks.

Welcome to America, a republic of United States,
Where...

Old Glory’s at half-mast today.

I wonder who just passed away?

Was it a hero from some battles past?

A dead leader whose influence lasts?

Were servicemen killed overseas,

Or humanitarians died fighting a disease? 

Seems most of the time I don’t know why

The Colors only at half-mast fly.

More and...

A lot of things in this world
Really puzzle me.
And I’m sure they’ll puzzle you as well.
If you look at them logically.

Why does an egg plant have no eggs
And a hamburger have no ham?
A guinea pig doesn’t come from Guinea
And it isn’t even a pig.
Writers write...

Take a look inside
& you will surely find

The knowledge they hide
From us in order to preside

The rules have been applied
& now we're left to divide

Water full of fluoride
Only making us collide

Nothing but downsides
As we're left to die at they wayside

Bad intentions creating mad inventions
Just to...

The Needy

The needy came unnoticed 
To a crowded room of masks---
Benevolent humanitarians 
Diligent in their tasks.
The needy still unnoticed
Soon grew faint from want and lack
And left the crowded room of masks---
Never to come back.

The old year is waning and most are complaining about what a year it has been.
Corrupt politicians over dosed musicians and travesties of the executive pen.

Real men lost in wars while effeminates crying for more of what they did not...

They heard a voice, they responded 
Though indistinctive the call, unclear their destination 
Waiting not for a signed correspondence 
They mobilized and departed to their destination 

Then arrived the challenges staring at their face 
The seas, the deserts there  to cross 
Thirst,  hunger...

Under the sea I discovered colors I did not know existed on this earth.
Hues found only under the sea and in heaven, maybe, but maybe not.
The fish left me alone; but when they hid in the reef, I sheltered.
Being quintessential humanitarians, they taught me how...

Oh what superficial facades we build
So featureless in this menagerie filled
Oppressing humanitarians and the like
Hysterically mocking honesty divine
Brutally molesting innocence in kind
Blindly we follow fools gold
Materials we tower and uphold
Savagely flouting righteousness athrust
Unappreciating sincerities must
And pouncing on words so true
What unhappiness we must imbue
Alas I...
