What Have We Become?
Human originates from the word Homosapien, meaning wise men
But is men really so wise?
I don’t think so
Because if we were so wise we wouldn’t have found bogus reasons to start a war
Discriminate individuals for how they look
Mistreat them because of the ethnicity they are from
NO, that is not wisdom
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge
A world encircled around greed
When we see a person doing a good deed that automatically turns into grief
Years after years
The world is evolving
But at the same time crumbling and falling
Majority are cruel, innocent are few
We have made a world out of nothingness out of power and money
Yet, it’s so easy to ignore what we’ve become
Cruelty might be very human
It might be cultural
But it is not acceptable.
