The Human Disgrace

“I see humans but no humanity.” - Jason Donohue

lets think of evil as human 

lets think of humans as beasts 

thats whats left for us to do… to think 

to think of our race as the one that brought disgrace

by taking a pace that led us to fall on our face

thinking we could do better in space 

until an untied lace brings us down to the same old place.

I know we always crave

but as children who misbehave

we must be taught to not cave in what’s not ours to take 

because eventually it’ll break thus putting everything at stake.

Author's Note

This one for thinking about our actions before making another step

I liked how you used and twist the language.

The children of today everywhere. What do they see? A mess up world in disgrace and filled with hate. I like the poem. Honest and direct. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Very true. We don't always take the time to think of the consequences our actions can have on others or the world in general. Maybe if we did stop to think every once in a while the world might just be a little bit better. Great poem!

Thanks :). That's my point exactly, if we could have a moment to think of our actions then it might be a better world
