Where is Our Humanity?

in Blockchain Poets2 years ago

Most people would tell you they want the good life
So they would sell themselves to the devil as the wife
They don't want to go through the process, they think they won't thrive
So, they employ ways to cheat the process, even engaging in strife
We are all chasing after different things in life
Some feel it's okay to cheat others, even offer the bribe
We all want to do what we think is best for us as long as we are the ones ahead
We don't care whose ox is gored in the process as long as we have our way
Humans can be ruthless sometimes when it comes to goals
We can be self-centered to a large extent too
Without checking the toss of each side of the coin
Life can be so demanding and hard but there is a place for our humanity
We don't have to lose sight of what's important
Just because we are trying to make ends meet
We don't need to take another life in the tussle of life just to get ahead
It's easier said than done, yes, but there is no higher court than the court of conscience
Every man for himself but we should strive to do better...be better
There is no success worth losing our humanity over

Thank you for your time.


My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

This part speaks about the evil of mankind, and how they are willing to do anything for what will be left behind.

Life can indeed be choking most times leaving us no choice but in that absence of no choice, there's indeed a good choice if only we look deeply into it.

That's when we get to never forget that there's a place for humanity and we should never lose touch with it.

Life, hmm... No one has the right manual to live by it, what we have is our instincts and belief to do what is right while in it.

Beautiful words....

Thank you for this brilliant contribution, Balikis. Indeed, most people have lost touch with their human sides. We have beasts in human clothing.

As always Mr. Square 🤗🤗🤗

I love the piece that you wrote ola 🥺✨ Like it's so true. People do all ways just to gain something even if they have done it in a selfish way-- it's just sad to think of 🥺🥺

It is really sad to think about it and I am happy you enjoyed it. It means a lot more. Thank you.

there is no higher court than the court of conscience

Conscience is what mankind lacks at times. It plays a very vital role in our lifes but it's unfortunate some theirs are dead, that's why people go the extra mile to get what they want. If only we can apply it..

Good one ....ola

Thank you so much. Yes, a lot of people are dead to their conscience. Some intentionally killed and ignored theirs. This is why we are where we are in the world. It's quite sad.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate this.
