Fire and Ice! ! !
I got the inspiration for this poem from a quote called 'Fire and Ice.'
This world will eventually come to an end.
But will we get to choose how it does?
What would you choose?
Fire or Ice?
Fire would burn everything.
It would be a fast death.
It would wipe out the whole world.
But would it be more humane than Ice?
Ice would slowly kill every living thing; Human or Plant.
Ice would chill everything to the very centre of their core.
Ice would take a while to wipe out this civilisation.
But is this more humane than Fire?
Neither would be humane;
But what would you rather?
Fire or Ice?

Humane
is a
mystery or magic
going to happen here
to unveil
the HUMANE
from human
a lovely
flower from bud
to receive the
good morn kiss
the sun's
tender hands
opens the
bud to flower
no mystery
no magic
just a
daily fare
human to HUMANE
too...
a natural daily fare
in that gathering
of HUMANE humans
in its glow and shine
the sun will be put to shame

To Attest To It
You're very much humane!
With your love towards me and of your concerns;
To attest to it,
For the very intent,
To support me,
For, everything in this life is possible! !
And, to attest to it from my experiences,
Because, you're very much humane.

God As A Super Computer
God is a super computer in which there are two folders,
Vile and humane,
.……………………. Vile ………………….
All the unfair work you do,
All the crimes you do,
All the injustice work you do,
…………………….. Humane ………………...
All the fair work you do,
All the social services you do,
All the justifiable work you do.
All the files of vile are converted to a new file called hard, sorrow and obstacles.
All the files of humane are
Converted to a new file called
Smooth, happiness and
Good living.

Is this the Face?
Is this the Face?
Is this the face?
That Witnessed alot of Evil,
I saw Evil from the Other Side of Humane,
Is this the Choice that I made?
Seein that Iam captured in Ignorance,
There is no Value greater than God's eyes,
Seeing what Humane hast been Doing,
I see alot of Evil from the Other Side,
This Day,
My Choice is doing what is right upon my day and face.

I am ANIMAL...by talile ali
For the longest time
I have aspired to
so many high minded
humane goals.
Unfortunately,
I have not attained any of them
for any real amount of
time
Why?
Its not from a lack of commitment,
I don't think.
It is more about
something else.
Some would say its lust,
desire, greed, envy, fear
But after so much time
and a great deal of contemplation
does it really matter
how i feel?
I have been lying to my self.
I have been conditioned to deny
the truth about
myself my
being.
I have been told
by so many
self-interested individuals
and have also read
in so many
great books and journals
about who and what we are
suppose to be
humane
beings.
All of them speak
of this fact that we are
not
animals.
This truth for me is
as I explored greatly
from so many
facets and intricacies
we
are not.
This is the truth for me
Why is it a constant
journey
and discovery
finding elements
supporting this thing we call
humane?
In finding any foundation
and sense of comfort
in all of these concepts
the truth is no
where
I have striven for a lifetime
and I have been found it so lacking
in these areas
But as an
animal,
All of my short coming would be
expectations
All of my achievements and cornerstones
Would be just
right.
My needs and wants and desires
would be where they need to be
My uncontrollable
lusts and desires
would be explainable
By all of my examples
The truth would be that
I am
ANIMALLLLLLLL

Humane
There is only one animal
And let us speak plain'
Where the word humane
Has no domain.
A horse that is lame
After a fall
Will be put down
In no time at all.
Wildlife rescued from a fire
Half cooked, dying from the blaze
Will be released without debate
By mercy's needled fate.
An old companion animal totters
Prolonged with drugs and care
Until it is decided when
Its suffering we can no longer bare.
Could we not ask our suffering
Do you want exit from the pain
To be released with love and dignity
By the mercy and grace of the word humane?

As against the "invisible hand" of Adam Smith, there has to be a visible hand of politicians whose objective is to have the kind of
society that is caring and humane. I worked to put this view of social justice into effect throughout my years in office.

Balancing Education
Modern generation
Today‘s children
Only busy with them
Mobile phones
Television and games
But no ‘tele-vision’
Educated and intelligent
But less humane
Energetic and enterprising
But selfish to the core
Willing to slog, struggle
But not a helping hand
Want to live the life well
But no community feelings
Belong to the World
But not to their nation
We share the blame for
Not balancing education!

Take me to Heaven, , ,
Take me to Heaven,
I find that Hope of Love,
Money hast no Place for Humane Love,
Whilst Work is Done on Globe,
Do the Good Works with Understanding,
It all came Clear in my FACE,
That the God of Heaven is making a New Man,
Where we Believe in Humane Love than Felonies,
This is all Called Blessed,
It is seen all Clear,
That we are Taken to Heaven,
In me is that Message,
That the Blessed Covenant gave man Equality,
The Understanding is in the Hard Battle agains’t Felonies and Capers,
Not Understanding the Word of God Brought a lot of Conspiracy.

Think noble, Talk noble and Get Nobel
Noble are those
Who have self evolved
Humane values
And who stand by what they value
Not necessarily nobility
Of a person is assessed
On what they own or acquired
On whether they have power and authority
Any way present day requirement is that
A person needs to be rich and powerful
For he or she to be declared noble
Nobility enhances with popularity
The more popularity the greater nobility
The cumulative effect of
Power and popularity is
Immensely reflected on
The hurry in which one gets into
Noble cadre
Thus a person with
Self evolved humane values
Popularity, fame and power
Assumes greater nobility
In the society
But note the fame one acquires
Through notoriety
Does not and will add to his
Nobility scale
The person may even create
Controversies without, of course,
Affecting the social harmony
And remain noble
What about acting on your noble ideas
It looks from one of the recent
Nobel awardees
That you need not act
On your ideas
Just keep talking about them
In all possible gatherings
But ensure that the crowd accepts
Whatever great things you have to say
To become a Nobel Laureate
You require to do only these
Think noble
Just talk noble
And get the Nobel

This Holiday Season
As we gather round our tables and break bread
We need to remember those who are dead
The ones who we've lost in so many senseless wars
The children that were abducted by the wicked deep in gore
The women who have been denied their right to walk free
In our streets and our towns because of the disrespect that we breed
By hooligans, perverts, and the criminally insane
Our societies so sick that it threatens our gains
When will we become a land of care and concern
When will we be responsible for the crimes we have learned
When will we acknowledge the madness and the greed
In our need for more money and our neglect of those in need
We can never be humane while we ignore all these crimes
And deny really treating the ill and confined
If we do not take hold and be true to just this
Our existence will be only a pause in the mist
Let us do what's right for the world where we live
Equal pay and equal rights for the people who live
In the shelters and cabins and castles and lands
We need to be beholding for all they demand
Our world is a Hodge podge of worldly delights
It's up to us all to recognize our own plight
And address the woes of being less than human
So that we may be a race humane once again
