Human Defined Poem by Arun Maji

Human is lucky
Mirror does not laugh at him.
If it does
Human race would kill himself
In one single day.

Human is averse to truth
Because it's painful.
Human would rather suffer perpetually
By embracing lie that soothes his ego,
But would never like
Hard slap of truth.

Human is genetically weak,
Socially unsocial,
Culturally uncultured,
Religiously unloving ungrateful,
Politically opportunistic,
Morally immoral.

Truth is
No other being is as inhuman
As human.
Have you seen even a savage beast
To Kill his fellow just for fun?
You have not.
But you have seen
many such humans.

Human has no other important challenge
Than to be just a human.
