When a Demon met Human Cruelty – A poem from India
Layeba Humanity, a poetess hailing from North India and wants to be the voice of truth and realities, shares her poem.
Once a demon planned to hurt a human being; he was a nasty and unkind demons’ king with an overly greed and hunting vision.
When a Demon met Human Cruelty
Once a demon planned
To hurt a human being
He was a nasty and
Unkind demons king
With an overly greed
And hunting vision,
He laughed and reached
The human region
But upon reaching
He saw something there
And he forgot to take
His flight’s next gear
Humans had crossed
All limits of being merciless.
Seeing this the demon
Killed his readiness
He wondered if humans
Persecute like this.
Really? Human break
Someone like this
He thought, at least
I don’t pretend to be nice.
I don’t show ignorance
Even though I’m wise
He had come to
Commit the crime
But himself became
Brutality’s witness
When he returned
To his monster land,
His eyes showed
Painful wetness
His people asked him
About human nature
He replied that humanity
Is on the stretcher
Of course they’ve won
And I’m lost.
Cause I couldn’t do
Like they do the worst
Who should be afraid?
They or me
Don’t know who the demons are?
They or me!
