Poetry Corner: perfectly human

Poetry Corner

If you are the product of a soul and a soul

You are a human soul

If your life is filled with all the ills in life

If you chill at your life’s perils

And you fail at life many times

You are human

 

If you gamble with all your flaws

And you so desire to do all the wrongs

You are human

If you flout the laws at will

And you fail at the rules against your will

You are human

 

I am a product of Adam

I mean…I am perfectly human

So I am mean

I am better than you

I compete to triumph over you

I must win so you lose

I must insist on my rights

Never mind if I am wrong

Just grant me my human rights

I am sufficiently Selfish

This I know

 

I come from Adam

That makes me perfectly human

So I think of money each moment of time

Money to rush blood through the veins of my life

Money to be the key to my love life

Money to justify my filthy means

In my human nature

I think of money day and night

Even to lose dear sleep

Even to miss sweet dreams

I am perfectly Materialistic

This I know

 

I am a man born of Adam

And I am perfectly human

So I purpose to inflict pain on many a man

I slip my tongue to gossip

I slant my tongue to slander

I slander to endanger

I endanger through murder or manslaughter

I am a shameless Liar

This I know

 

I leap from the loins of Adam

I am a perfect species of a human

So I live to the detriment of my own peace of mind

I live to deprive them of peace

I live only to fight to live my live

I inflict the most pain

To make the most gain

I am dangerously Violent

This I know

 

I inherited it all from Adam

And I know I am intrinsically human

Living among neighbours on earth

So I envy the person next to me

I mean…I am evil to those I envy

I love to hate those who love me

I hate those I hate even to death

I am hatefully Envious

This I know

 

A descendant of Adam I am

I am perfectly human

It requires me to rebel at authority

They have no right to question my obstinacy

I’d rather they accepted my unflinching notoriety

Else I rebel at everybody

I am stubbornly Rebellious

This I know

 

I am Adam incarnate

So well defined by fate

I can only be perfectly human

So I am corrupt to the core

I covet what belong to them

I desire theirs to be mine

I pray calamity to them befall

Perhaps no less than death

So I can possess what belong to them all

I am voraciously Greedy

This I know

 

Are you as human as I am born to be?

Are you as fallible as humans tend to be?

Have you spared yourself a thought?

Have you tried to be a better human?

Have you tried a new personality?

Have you tried hard enough?

 

I am trying hard

So hard

I am changing my mind

I am leaving everything behind
