The Nature Of Humans Poem by Afzal Shauq

If a way can be made
like rainbows
expanding from earth to sky
to moon past the sea of stars...

Then why can't people
bound by their rigidity
some how be dispersed...
and not stay as they are

Borders have been drawn
by wealth, race, and religion
these walls of restrictions
Through out all the nations

Like animals on the hunt
always they induce fear
with brutal acts of behavior
towards humans unlike them
