Humanity Poems
Homemade Apartheid II
by Hébert Logerie
They reside on the other side of the city
They bathe in the quiet and still fertility
They own yard-keepers and docile servants
Dogs, cats, hyenas and precious plants.
They breathe the camphorated air like us
Swallow the transparent and abominable dust
Cross over and fall in the muddy rivers like saints
Like our siblings living under the tiny tents.

Dead Humanity (Palestine)
by Md. Naeem Aziz
When i saw Palestinian mothers
Cried for their dead babies,
Killed by air strikes
My heart burned by the fire of pain.
But i see no pain,
In the eyes of Arab world.
Like their life has no value
In the world of dead humanity.
To save their own land

The Indomitable Human Spirit
by Thomas Gallagher
We have enslaved lightning
And thunder’s roar, defeat it admits
We have survived death’s pain
And create life with wits
For some, life is a prison
Yet they reach for freedom through the slits
Us on this beautiful rock

Human (2/23/2022)
by Leo/Ella Reznikova
I'm neither good nor bad, I am just simply - a goddess.
I am not to be defined by primitive words like that, my existance stands above, stands beyond verbal confinement.
My reason - is not to be understood, unaffected by complexity, I am beyond human understanding. I am just simply on another plane of existance, a different dimension, I AM - the fourth dimension.
So kneel - and bow to my divinity. Pray to the ground on which I choose to walk, and accept Me-
As your absolute.
Against Honor Killing
by Irfan Ali
What kind of honor, what kind of pride,
That steals a life, and lets justice slide,
For love’s sweet crime, blood is spilled,
This cruel game, where mercy is killed.
Old traditions, customs so bleak,
Where women are stories, forbidden to speak,
No right to live, no dreams to bloom,
What kind of society, what kind of doom?

Losing Our Humanity
by Lee-Ann Azzopardi
Tine slips into my hand
Like a bottle thrown out to thr sea
With a message that life is worth it
And with you, I'll be brave to shield us
From those who hate
With the words of kindness
And outpouring of love that we overlooked
For sometimes, we fail to remember
That we are human
And for that reason, we are prone to mistakes

Too Far Away
by Soumili Karmakar
Our rejoicing season is glad to have arrived
Lilacs and water lilies are all around in time.
The autumn has begun
As it seems, but the sun behind the distant cloud hides his tears
In guise of fallen dreams.
Oh, it has been a marvelous season!
For the butterflies to soar and sing the past years summer songs.
Despite, the drenching rain the sparrows are fluttering away in the wind.
I, stand here to witness the little ducklings running to the bossom of their mothers.

Uranium
by Liam Erb
Unthinkable moments of radon decay
Ratcheted by powerful inhibitions of examiners
An unquenchable thirst for power
Necessitated by humanities conflict with regression
Insolent of other existents
Unaffected ones destroy for their search
Marring the desolate with sickness
Intending opportunity not
words of an impersonated fool
by atef ayadi
it took me a while,
to realize that i will be free when
an aborigines or a native tribe
accept me
to live with them as long as they permit,
ii will bring with me nothing
from other worlds,
no alexa and alexis,
no bribes, and extremes vibes.
no wit and no civilized outfit.
