To be or not to be a misanthrope
One wonders all the times
Evil that we do to each other
Hardly leaves space for trusting others
The lengths to which we go
To humiliate others know no bounds
The steps we don’t take to
Prevent others getting hurt are indeed abound
The million ways we find to
Strip others’ dignity make one astound
Shouldn’t we all be misanthropes by now?
Yet most of you all trust in humanity, may be it is because,
The sight of a stranger warning others not to take the wrong route
The witnessing of a struggling human helping another struggling human
The news of unrelated millions coming together in the time of calamity
The “cog in the machine” person going the xtra mile to help others
The not so strong person standing up for others, that
Give some hope (no matter how fleeting it is) in humanity
May be the 7+ billion people aren’t humanity
May be it is the one person who acts humanely.
