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?

Who Gave you Inhuman Rights?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to the SriLankan army
to sever the heads of innocent boys
and set fire to the heaps of their corpses
at Mullivaikal and other places?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to rip the limbs of children,
the womenfolk and the old
and litter everywhere
for the vultures to eat or to rot?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to rape the wives of
the surrendered rebels
before their very eyes,
torture and kill them all?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to some mindless nations
to supply chemical weapons
to the brutal army of Lanka
to wage a genocidal war?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to the shameless soldiers of Lanka
to maul and cut off the feeding breasts
and shoot at the sacred organs
of the women and the rebels?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to the morons born to strumpets,
to shut the women and girls
in fenced-camps, starve
and lure them with food packets?
Who gave the inhuman rights
to drive out the ailing Tamils
from their traditional lands
and colonise with roguish monks
and Sinhalese convicts and goons?
Who can deny rights to Tamils elsewhere
to wage a war against these criminals
when the UNO is blind to these violations,
as some vested interests and bigots
have a stake in this blood-stained soil?

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.

Lost in a Inhumane World
Im lost within a world
A little world of my own.
Not quite real
Or even humane.
Lost in a world of depression.
Lost in a world where
People will pick and jibe.
Lost in an inhumane world
With no exit sign.
God how do I get out?
Out from a world
That is cruel
Where people must judge me

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

I have to tell you I don't just see this role of women as caretakers in the world that I cover, I see it in the world I live in. Slowly, slowly, slowly but definitely, the workplace is becoming a more humane place because of the presence of women.

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?

A Moment Of Transition
In all lives
where great character
is attained...
comes a moment
requiring
exceptional transition.
Sometimes
historically to achieve
something revolutionary...
profoundly better
something imminently bad
must transpire first.
Not to recognize
the necessity
effort required...
to alleviate
inhuman pain
is an inherent evil.
Not to recognize
the personal necessity;
required to alleviate...
inhuman catastrophic pain;
when possible is to exhibit
callous inhuman indifference.
Not to individually make
a stand for our fellow man;
during times exhibiting...
evil in excessive transition;
is the most destructive tragedy
inditing the entire human race.
Not to recognize
the personal necessity;
necessary in submitting to risk...
this enacting pain of transition;
sacrifice which must be taken
is the most destructive tragedy of all.

The topic of this poem addresses inhuman regimes such as Nazi Germany and the moral obligation of free governments and individuals to resist them. Herman Göring, ordered SS Obergruppenführer Reinhard Heydrich, to begin The Final Solution on July 31 1941. Heydrich organizes The Wannsee Conference, for January 20 1942, the date generally agreed upon as the start of the Holocaust.
The exhibited ‘callous inhuman indifference’ mentioned, can perhaps best be understood with reference to a quotation from George Orwell, reflecting on the coming of World War II. Orwell said “When one thinks of the lies and betrayals of those years, the cynical abandonment of one ally after another, the imbecile optimism of the Tory press, the flat refusal to believe that dictators meant war, even when they shouted it from house tops, the inability of the moneyed class to see anything wrong whatever in concentration camps, ghettoes, massacres, and undeclared wars, one is driven to feel that moral decadence played its part as well as mere stupidity.”

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.
