THE COMMONALITY OF MEN

 

S. Samal

 

At times I feel.

seeing the infernal act

and frenzy of men;

loot, rape, murder, arson

carnage and destruction

that the deluge is on

and God, no doubt,

has committed

the greatest blunder

by creating

the ugly uncouth viper,

that is man.

 

Man is man’s foe

and sworn enemy,

Cain, the killer.

Isn’t it possible to live

without that bourgeois insane

jealousy and hatred,

let people live

and the world

go on its own?

 

What a lovely place,

heaven of peace,

would be our earth

were there no anger and animus

cruelty and violence!

if man could live

alone by love

beyond caste, creed,

race and religion!

 

O, all men are one and equal

God’s mighty heart throbs

and man’s red blood

flows in all!

 

Man’s caste is man

his mission peace

God love

and religion,

humanity and brotherhood.

Oh, God!

grant him this plainest Truth

and profoundest wisdom.
