Something Like Human

A poem.

By Bianca MadaffariPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Things are Strange.

"Highly Deranged,"

entangled in the rage.

This world needs a change,

It’s not hard to see.

Famine.

War.

Poverty.

Children stolen from the streets,

sold into the trade &

yet things remain the same.

It’s like these lives are a game.

Society turns a blind eye

but who’s really to blame?

Why is it that we are so afraid of change?

Why is it that we are so afraid to stand up

and speak out for the people that have no choice.

No voice.

Injustice sweeps the nation,

it happens every day.

But we continue on just

pretending like things are okay...

I’m not trying to make you fearful,

I’m trying to give you an earful

of the injustice of this world.

I’m trying to ignite passion in your heart

for our fellow humans that need help,

but don’t know where to start.

I’m trying to get rid of the illusion,

I just want you to feel

Something Like Human.
