We are better

They said,
They have said,
They say,
They are superiors,
They have something special,
They have restricted us,
They have encroached in our areas,
They are humans.

We have no weapons,
We are animals,
We are wild,
We are better.
We are not humans.

They have brains,
They make us pets,
They make slaves from themselves,
They are humans.

We are better,
We have a separate gene,
We have different blood,
We have different lifestyles,
We are thankful to God,
We have only one God,
We are not humans.

They are wise,
They have many different Gods.
They have different heavens,
They have different blood groups.
They are humans.

We are better,
They fight like us,
They always fight,
They fight for their different Gods,
They fight for everything,
But have nothing.
They wish for peace,
But compete with each other,
They  are humans.

We are better,
We have one language,
We have similar requirements,
We are not humans.
At certain points, they are also like animals,
But have different languages.

They always think about tomorrow,
But miss today.
They think of heaven,
But make the earth hell.
They used to kill us,
But they are saving us for their sake.
They are humans.
They are blind in actions,
But realise their faults later.
They are to reciprocate us,
But consider us enemies.

We are better,
We are animals.
They always realise later,
They are humans,
They have developed brains,
But we are better,
We have contributions to human growth.
They have not helped us.
They have used us.

Their brains are like two edged swords,
They harm themselves most.
We are succumbing to their attitudes,
As we are animals.

They know more about us than themselves.
They can predict our future.
They can decide our fate.
They are the most advanced creature on earth.
But they are confused about themselves.

Because of them-
We are not only cornered,
But we are encroached also.
Mother Earth also bears the use of the human brain.
For them, they change but Mother Earth never changes.
Because they celebrate Earth Day to remember her importance.
It seems like they think their mothers to be remembered on Mother’s Day.
They are poorly conscious wise superiors.

We are better,
We are animals,
We have no such false paradise.
We save our dwellings.
We are not humans.

They live to leave,
But not for life.
We are better,
We are not humans.

  1. A challenging poem. Speaks of oppression, domination and the effects of rootlessness thinking. I tried to see your profile and foundation. Please share something of yourself as your thoughts are aligned with experience of suffering. What is your philosophy? What is your origin? If you don’t mind the question so as I can better appreciate your writing. Thank you!

    1. Thank you for your liking and encouraging comment. I respect your concern. I think that any minor incident happening anywhere in the corner of the globe is the same everywhere, though it may differ in dimensions. I compare it with other entities of nature to draw attention to all. My philosophy is to be human first. I think of the religion of soul and controller is only one. My regards 🙏

  2. “They fight for everything/and have nothing.” Cuts to the bone! But I also like what you said in your previous post about our lives being our own stories to write. We have the choice to write ourselves as a planetary protagonist. That new story starts with each of us. Great thought-provoking post!

  3. I like the poem that shows the symmetries of fights and wars.

    “We are better” is often the best way into conflicts.

    We are the good, the others are bad.

    You show in a good way the different perspectives.
