Man Child in a Zoo

He is a man child cub in a zoo

endangered specie its true

on the verge of extinction

a thought hackneyed but new

with his back to the world

a world of hate he left behind

a world of sorrow and suffering

he outgrew

now he eats only what

he can chew

his ancestors once upon a time

roamed the wilds

till evolution charged their intellect

they became from apes

men categorized as Christians Muslims and Jews

assorted races Buddhist Sikhs Parsis Jains Hindus

using religion as a weapon

their own kind without impunity

they mercilessly slew

political powerplay

man destroying man

a heady intoxicating brew

phew

a god who created them

they killed on the cross

now by killing

those that did not kill him

pay off their forefathers

unpaid dues

suicide bombers

misplaced martyrdom

proselytizing the human soul

with any available excuse

Justice as a precondition

to Peace and Freedom

The only solution

for a global truce

 

a comment by paige perris island who deleted her flickr account

 

shaped by light

or sorrow

the future of this man

child lies within

his charms and

his wiles, his ability

to beguile.

his smile will take him

far and his past

will recede like a vapor trail

from a jet traveling

east to west,

his choice, what is best

for him and the rest

of his cadre.
