The brutes called human

                                  Legacy, paradox and affirmation
                                       Bound the human society
                                Distinct from nature's other entities
                                  We create circles and boundaries
                                            Move within them
                                     Restricting our expressions
                                    Virtues, traits and attributes
                                       The human endowments 
                                    Suffocate inside like a pigeon
                                                 In captivity

                                       Life is governed by laws of
                                          Cosmic consciousness
                                         The man-made confines
                                        Are rooted in subjectivity,
                                    Contrary to the order of nature
                                    The jungles, rivers and oceans
                                 Abounding assortments of diversity
                                Personifying mutuality and reciprocity
                               Are ruled by freedom and simultaneity 
                                              They do not fight

                                          From the time of Adam
                                          Never a day has passed
                                           When we sat at peace
                                     Blood flows cheaper than water
                                      Cries and tears do not matter
                                    The thirst continues unquenched
                                         We are not ashamed and
                                        Take pride in being human
                                     With ego, arrogance and greed 
                                       We are brutes beyond doubt
