So Little Humanity

         -   by Vivek Pereira

So many humans

But so little humanity

Amidst the great rally

For one man’s vanity.

So much passion,

But so little empathy;

No expression of remorse

Not even thru’ telepathy.

Such a lot of promises,

But most remain unfulfilled;

All they want is power

No matter who gets killed.

So large a nation,

But so few citizens,

Daring to take on evil,

And preventing all these sins.

Such a small mindset,

But an even narrower vision

That’s taking us all backwards

Thru’ the politics of religion

So little time,

But still a lot to do;

Let’s work even harder

And make our dreams come true.
