Oh Mankind!

Oh Mankind!

Masculine and feminine gender 

We were all created to love, and not hate each other. 

In the eyes of the Lord, we are all equal. 

But today, in this world, we all try to be masters. 

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading? 


Contrary to the purpose of our creation 

We dwell in tribalism and a clash of traditions 

In the realm of nepotism and political division 

Our leaders are bathing in the lake of corruption 

All in the name of wealth and fraudulent possession 

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading? 


We mock the living and celebrate the dead

We neglect the poor and embrace others with wealth 

For worldly materials, we kill ourselves. 

The poor suffer and are treated with disrespect 

But try to think back and forth 

The rich are supposed to be the banks of the poor 

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading? 


We degrade modesty and celebrate nudity 

I wonder how we push morality and kick serenity 

We prohibit marijuana and legalized cigarettes with nicotine

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading? 


Where are the leaders of religions? 

Have you forgotten so soon what is written in the revelations? 

Those books are supposed to be our constitutions

But where are you when our sisters are going into prostitution? 

Oh! Is it because you always preach prosperity and forget salvation? 

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading? 


Why do you judge, when you are unjust? 

Is it because he is rich, and the other is poor? 

Have you forgotten the conditions necessary for the rule of law? 

One of them preaches equality before the law

Regardless of status, we are all equal before the law. 

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading? 


Even medical doctors are not an exception 

They treat us with segregation 

Is it because I'm poor I cannot have proper medical attention? 

What is this world turning into? 

We forget to do things we ought to 

And focus on doing things we ought not to. 

Oh, mankind! Where are we heading?
