The Meaning Of Humankind

Forever people look for a complicated word
Years, decades and centuries they search
One sad word that gives meaning to humankind
Poets have written pages looking for the word
Singers sing their songs trying to find just the right word
Writers tell stories about the search for...

The Worst of Humankind - Part 1
War used to be some other place
Out of sight and mind;
But now we see on our tv
The worst of humankind.

An army has just marched across
Another country’s border,
Wreaking murder, unprovoked,
And violent disorder.

Are we so blind? We never learn.
We’ve seen it all before:
You say you come to...

The Richest Heritage of Humankind
Literature was pursued
by the greatest individuals who ever lived,
and they left us works of unsurpassable wisdom;
human emotions have always been the same, 
and this can't attest to the fact that they will not change anytime soon,
but the freer we are, the further we go up...

The Diabolical Face of Humankind
The diabolical face of humankind
might as well be that of the shark-looking grook
with a very large mouth and an extraterrestrial look;
he reads the thick magic spell books of wizards
trying to learn every imaginable trick and go wild...
turning helpless humans into lizards!

Premium Member Respect For Humankind
Pray, do you know what I do mean
When respectful I do wish you seen
Do you care for humanity
Do you care by showing respect
For all that does be imperfect
Do you have this humility
Pray, do you know what I do mean
When respectful I do wish you seen

Arrogance...

Humankind
upon this black couple mountain
I sat and watched  though like Jonah, bereaved
Mankind in travail like a fierce
Pregnant woman in the feeble street 
THings grumbled and fall apart
Humankind deserted amidst tears and pains
"O heaven" i wailed
"Wail not, its their cause" the spirit said
"When shall this...

Humankind
Time has become enigmatic
In cellular mobile phone.
Whether humankind will retreat?

Humankind
Independent laws, moral tune
Reserve applause, infernal loom
Creator clause, fatal monsoon

Turn tables above, summer bloom
Floweth love, beguiling June
Flying dove, impeccable croon

Abundant crime, seasonal doom
Existential times, big ‘to-do’
Blunt shaped line, resulting kaboom...

Angel Tell Me About Humankind
Angel, tell me about humankind
Not a lie I expect to hear from you
Gift of mind urges me to die for truth
Ear that loves to hear and nurse lies
Lies and slumbers in the plain of lies

Tell me one  truth from these rails of lies
Every man...

Save Humankind From Human Madness
Sometimes with neither rhyme nor reason
We chew insanity and regurgitate vanity
Ensnaring our souls in a pesky prison
Where we trap humanity in an insidious inanity

With a passion so overwhelming
We galumph in an empty triumph
From which we emerge screaming and squirming
When horrors and terrors galumph

Daring us to...

Beyond the Last Star
Is there a stellar orb that’s last,
beyond beyonds of cosmic vast?
I can’t imagine such a thing,
no matter where my thoughts take wing,
for always there would be one more
at least, if not an endless store.

Yet let my flight of fancy soar,
through door beyond the furthest door
and...

This Insubstantial Pageant
Upon our stage we romp and rage
in Goldilocks’s golden cage
amongst colossal cosmic crowd
with spark of liveliness endowed
of pomp and circumstantial fate,
whose worth we underestimate,

in constant discontentment caught
‘and sicklied o’er in cast of thought
so enterprises turn awry’,
with not an inkling as to why.
Oh actors in this...
