The human today…
The human is no more a human anymore,
The human has lost the values of the core.
Not anymore the human cares about others,
The human has, thus, unfailingly lost all the cultural tethers.
More worried is the human about how s/he looks,
The social-networking human, today, cannot escape the humanity’s depressive hooks.
More worried is the human about the wrinkles on his/her shirt,
While the crispness of truth and honesty faces the obvious thwart.
Deception in human is the new fashion.
Narcissism in human is the new passion.
Pretension in human is now the new norm,
Infidelity has taken the society by a storm.
Today’s human cheats with the every breath,
Today’s dictionary has lost the word ‘faith’.
More and more the human becomes the ‘inhumane’,
S/he loses not only the touch of the sacred, but trails as well in the profane.
The human is, thus, no more a human anymore,
Forgotten, has the human, to put the other human before…
