Being Humane!

Trying to be humane

I don’t think I was what we call humane,

But trying to be,

Not quite certain,

If I can touch that star, let’s see.

 

Wasted priceless moments doing things unexpected,

I wish I could wind them back,

Going for a new start ahead,

But thank god mending is still possible to make.

 

Have you seen humanity?

Does it dwell nearby?

I have been searching for it badly,

Please let me know if you happen to meet it, I’ll be its ally.

 

I don’t see its face in the war fields,

Neither can I find it next to a child waiting to die of malnourishment,

I feel like laughing at those taking pride in beautifying homelands,

When thousands turn out to be destitute and despondent.  

 

I know that I don’t have that celestial light,

Yet I've faith in the Almighty,

That my endeavour shall lead me towards it,

Turning me even if slightly into A Farewell to Arms’ Henry.
