Great write about civilization; this poem is one kind of best definition of true civilization
Education, wealth, rich condition, aristocratic life; elite class... etc is not the measure pole of true civilization; Civilization is the name of humane consciense where love, sympathy, unity, friendship...all goodness of mind are hidden gracefully
it's a brillint poem; this poem carries your poetic power with your universal humane feelings
Makers of civilization! ! Yet with loopholes. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
The world resounds to National self belief and this can be dangerous. Only by understanding other cultures can we free ourselves from that narrowness. Yes, I really like this poem, Mahtab.
Really a great satire. One, civil is civilized till he is caught and called otherwise. If everyone is asked this question in the world, there would be no one not so.
Your poem efficiently peels of the labels, status and fame under the umbrella of hypocrisy with dripping sarcasm.
A great satirical poem on the society and so called first world countries, Nicely written.10+++
A great satirical piece that exposes the hypocrisy of mankind. Well penned. Kudos!

It is completely based on self analysis and introspection to declare I am the civilized for anybody regarding honesty, humanitarianism and righteousness of oneself...you have very well thought on this theme and have presented a great poem...thanks with a 100 for your effort
You make some telling points about imperialism and colonialism, both still forces in the modern world, although they were more prevalent in the 19th.,20th. centuries. It is interesting to realize how important being 'civilized' is. A just society would be impossible without it.
Civilization give us the modern world for understanding diverse races, This is brilliant poem for understanding one another, A great good poem that unifies all races and skin color.
A very astute comment on Jack Kerouac's poem. All the different people you mention are civilized, although you imply that some may not be. Intriguing.
Yes- civilization is not rich country, beautiful location, smart dressing up, aristocratic life, elite society, poorest surviving life, high qualified education, bourgeois' in-activeness…………! Civilization is the conscience of humanity. Great writing
Being civilized is a myth........ civilization is in love. it is the civilization of love that matters. very good poem. dev
