We The People

what have we made of ourselves...

We raped her.
One by one
all of us.
She was crying..
Screaming...
Praying.
She was bleeding tears,
and we were laughing.
Now she's dead.
We've killed her.
- HUMANITY -
She's no more.

I heard her screams
but I didn't move,
cuz I was told - We are right!

We.
Who are we?
What are we?

I'm lost in this mob.

I see people fighting.
I see people crying.
I see people blaming.
I see people dying.

I've heard of Heaven and Hell.
I've heard of God.
I've heard of different beliefs.
I've heard of love.
Uh.. I've heard of all these myths...
Word of God; said by humans.
Books of God; written by humans.
God; made by humans.

I don't see God.
I don't see love.
I don't see respect.
I don't see humanity.
But. . .
I see deaths.
I see hatred.
I see people dying for myths.
I see people love these myths, more than God.
I see discrimination.
I see disgust.
I see burned churches.
I see destroyed mosques.
I see smashed temples.
I see borders, stretched in the hearts, where love could never trespass.
I see the end.
And...
I see excuses.
Vague reasons.

We are no humans.
We are mere Colours.
We are Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc.. etc...
But we are no humans.

We have our own Gods, own beliefs, own lives... Everything.
But it's not enough.
Even it is not enough.
We want more.
We are hungry.

We the (DASH) People!

Author's Note

I've not written it for reviews but to share my feelings. So please please please if you feel anything that relates to some sort of sadness.. Then please try to make a little change in yourselves. Use your heart. Contribute your smiles to save humanity. What you've been giving to this world is greatly appreciated but all I ask for One Extra Smile. We are human before anything else. Accept it.
There's never a wrong time to do the right thing. I beg you all. . . Please love.
Try to spread this feeling of love in your daily lives.. It would heal the wound..Or at least won't make it worse.
It's a request, do anything.. Anything that you are capable of to spread love around you. It's in dire need. Every smile would count. We need love.
And if you cannot do anything, then please don't do anything. Kindly don't make the condition worse.
Thank you.

~~~
To all who believe everything is not lost, yes everything is not. But do we need to wait, till we lose everything? No. Certainly not.
You may think I'm only focussed on one side of the story.. So let me confirm that, yes, I am; because that's the side which needs to be taken care of.
Love. Laugh. Live.

what can i say ,you said it all loud and clear,every word you said i agree with you ,i wanted to put some of your lines that i liked but then really i would have to put all your writing in my review area,i just loved and respected every word you said ,they were so deep cry to the world ,i know it may not change anything,but you have spoken yourself and thats quite good for we all hear ,only some deaf ears will never hear and i am sorry for them

[Sharon Miller Bolander]

Love and caring rarely makes headline news, but they should. Random acts of kindness performed when least expected offer hope for humankind. Thank you for sharing this powerful message. I'll remember!

[Emily B]

There is human and human kind. I hope to be of the latter. I see light. And love. I try to share both as often as I can.

I Think your write is important. It is right to make us question and think. These are powerful words.

[Jeff Bresee]

Yet God's fingerprints are on every part of creation which we see around us. How does it all add up? It all makes perfect sense...if you allow him to teach you.

[Duane Klinger]

The writing itself was stupendous, but what really made this was the message. You see, I am a minority in a few senses. First of all I am a spaniard, the only one in my school and oh boy do I feel the burn and secondly I am Buddhist, again the only in my school. Since I was able to write this is always something that I took very seriously. Acceptance is, infact, the way to restore humanity. I've never judged, its not a Buddhist thing or a Christian thing, it's a HUMAN thing, or at least should be. Very nicely written, I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank you much for sending me this request.

Wow. I your feelings are very strong. and it is a Very powerful peice. It is all very true too. Thankyou for asking me to read this. I liked this very much.

[Bhavya Kaushik]

Damn! This is so true, I really here can see how you have grown so much as a writer in these past few months. This is so true and we need to ask this question to ourself now, as we often say that there's no humanity in todays world.But we first need to look for some humanity in our conscience rather than blaming others.
The starting is simply awesome, very well to attract the attention of reader in a very apt way.
Great work and such a brilliant message!

[BluesForTheRisingSun]

...Wow. Sorry but I've seemed to lost my extensive vocabulary after reading that. That was seriously powerful and seemingly true. I thought it evoked alot of feelings and deep thoughts.

[Laura E. Aranda]

OH!
Thanks for asking me to read this one.
Dark stuff
Real stuff....man, I don't know what to say! IT is all true...every last drop and that is so sad.... one day though...things will change....
Anyway take care, my friend. Cheers, lea

[Laura Sparkle]

...Powerful...The only word that comes to mind coherently...
