Poem by George Nsikak

ARE WE HUMANS?

Why the clubs?
Why the swords?
Why the guns?
Why the bombs
Why the gases?

We are humans
Religion has divided us
Politics; separated us
Boundaries; confused us
Wealth; classified us
Race; undermines us
We  are humans
What do you think we are?
Animals
A better word
Maybe human
From one ancestor
Through a process
Called evolution
We are humans
Differentiated by tongues
Separated by oceans
Segregated by continents
Foolished by race
Most importantly
We are humans
Will it profit you?
To kill your brother
Enslave your fellow
Undermine opposite gender
Cause war and chaos
If you do so
You are worst
Than dark ages
You've just forgotten
That we're humans
Drop your clubs
Drop your swords
Drop your spear
Bow and arrows
Destroy your guns
Bombs and gases
For
If you kill
You will die
Decide not to kill
You'll surely die
When you've drop
your weapons
Even your
Religious weapons
Then we'll be happy
Because we...
Because
We
Are
All
humans.
