Doomsday is not when the earth collapses,
Nor is it the contagion of a deadly virus.
Doomsday is when humans forget humanity,
As such all of us are doomsday descendants.
There is no such thing as fall of humanity,
For humankind never rose to civilization.
Our ancestors were savages with bow and arrow,
We are modern savages with nuclear ammunition.
Each of us are raised as an incarnate of doom,
Through our veins flow the germs of selfishness.
Everybody talks of peace without realizing,
The opposite of war is not peace, it’s unselfishness.
So stop worrying about the fall of civilization.
Live as human so that there actually is a civilization.

Third world countries are not,
Those from Asia and Africa.
Some of the real third world countries,
Are our United States and Russia.
It is behavior that makes the person,
It is behavior that makes the nation.
Worth of a nation lies not in currency,
But in their sense of assimilation.
A civilized nation doesn’t say,
We are the greatest nation on earth.
Only the underdeveloped yells around,
We are the nation supreme, all others are dirt.
A first world country is born of first world citizens.
A citizen becomes first world by defying all divisions.

Diversity is no gimmick,
Diversity is no belief.
Diversity is life itself,
Diversity is uplift.
Diversity is sanity,
Diversity is joy.
Diversity is monsoon,
After a drought most dry.
There ain’t no humanity,
If there is no diversity.
We ain’t no human,
If inside we have no amity.
It ain’t enough to talk of toleration!
Each of us is to be the vessel of unification.

Let me hold your hand,
Let me be your home.
Here, take my heart,
Heart to heart life is honed.
There is no I, only Us,
There is no Us, only I.
Sounds confusing, right!
Because Love is across all Us and I.
In love all of me is you,
In love all of you is me.
In love it’s all messed up,
The sweetest mess we could ever be.
So come, let’s be messed up together.
Perhaps then things might get a little clear.

There is no lord almighty, only human almighty,
No magic and mysticism, only nature and oneness.
There are no ten commandments, only one,
Compassion has no religion, character has no race.
There’s no law above life, life alone is the supreme law,
And stagnant law does more harm than action illegal.
There is no holy trinity, only humanity up on its toes,
It is always the human mind playing the triangle.
No more dogmas, no more doctrines and manifestos,
Let us be forthright ‘n just foster the spirit of affection.
Once we learn to celebrate each other’s existence,
There won’t be any need for artificial occasion.
Awake, arise o dynamite, blow up all old paradigm.
Don’t fight it, or cuss it, just overwhelm it with your lifeline.

Give me a spark of your nerves,
I’ll turn it into thunder strike.
Give me a tremor of your lips,
I’ll turn it into landslide.
Give me a teardrop of your eyes,
I’ll turn it into tsunami.
Give me the sweat of your labor,
I’ll turn it into hydroelectricity.
Give me a beat of your heart,
I’ll turn it into an earthquake.
Give me a touch of your fingers,
I’ll turn it into society’s duct tape.
Ingredients of reform are born of your veins.
Renounce your apathy and reform will rain.

Peace is not a statement,
Peace is existence.
Love is not a sentiment,
Love is sentience.
Awareness is not a practice,
Awareness is absolution.
Moderation is not restriction,
Moderation is jubilation.
Ignorance is not inferiority,
Ignorance is upliftment.
Failure is not the end,
It is the road to development.
Acknowledge the whole, quirks and all.
You have all the powers to treat the world.

Culture can either further the cause of life,
Or it can hinder life, love and liberty.
If it hinders, it belongs in the dump,
If it furthers, it is an ally of humanity.

Rigidity is drag on expansion,
For it makes chains out of roots.
Roots give ground beneath our feet,
While chains only cripple all our move.

Even a flower can’t survive in last week’s water,
Yet you expect the mind to thrive that way.
Let the mind fly higher than known heights,
And all light and life will find their way.

With all our understanding of the speed of light,
We’re yet to cross the distance from heart to heart.
With all our fancy equipment of communication,
We are yet to listen to those unheard.

Some explain why they are catholic,
Some explain why they are atheist,
Some explain why they are muslim,
Some explain why they are socialist.

Some explain why they are jew,
Some explain why they are buddhist,
Some explain why they are hindu,
Some explain why they are humanist.

I heard plenty people explain,
Why they are what they are,
But I’m yet to hear one person say,
First I am human, all else later.

What is this mad obsession with all the ism!
Why can’t we be just human, plain and simple!
