![]() Human "Rights"A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt ShanksYou want to talk
about human rights? What is wrong with
being human? What is right? What about human is
right? Is it right what
humans are about? What is it about “being”
human that is right? Do we even know the
right way to be a human? Where is the
instruction manual to tell us the “right” way? What is right for one
human is not right for another human. Do we have the right
to force our humanness upon the earth? You want to talk
about human rights? What is wrong with
being human? What is right? Is it right that we
allow some humans to kill other humans? Is it right that we will
not allow some humans to die when and how they want to? Is it right that we forcibly
create humans just to use them for the benefit of other humans? Is it right that some
humans use the suffering of other humans for their own enjoyment? Is it right that some
humans enjoy inflicting suffering upon other humans? Do we have the right
to force our humanness upon the earth? Humans cannot even agree
on their own human rights. You want to talk
about human rights? What is wrong with
being human? What is right? When do we talk about
earth rights? © 2010 Melanie Jane Boicourt ShanksFeatured Review
