Humanity

Can this humanity
claim
that it has drawn out
the best of its manners
can it say
it has been fair
to the world around
How can the world feel
so disoriented
Opposinf its own preaching
how can one call this
Humanity
Humane ??
Pretence is the mask taught
taught to be glued
and never taken apart
lest someone catches you
and shatter the existence of humanity
in mere dust
greed
hypocricy
and what not
is made this
humanity
so inhuman to tolerate
