I Am A Human Poem by Alade Abayomi Idris

I am a human
And blood runs through my veins
I deserve honour and respect
Irrespective of my age and properties.

Change my acts with good talk
And you have me bow in deference
Don't insults or spat fire on my errs
That would ignite aging hatred embedded in my soul
For i am a human
And blood runs in my vein.

I am human.
I see through the sound your tongue shaped
And through minuscule gesture you made
Think before you talk
Rehearse your play before going on stage
What you do or say
Determines if i will be your pal or foe
For i am a human
And blood runs through my vein.

Help me to uphold my honour
Never let the wind blows away my pride
Not by me begging for loaves of bread
But you rewarding my labour accordingly
And giving me my share of fatherland
That i won't tarry for the rest of my life
For i am human
And blood runs through my vein.

The world is good
And the sea water is colourless
But these could be altered if i perceived threat to my existence
For i am human
And blood runs through my vein.
