Poem Title:
Poem
In the depths of mankind's twisted soul, Lies a darkness that takes its toll, For in the face of our humanity, Lurks a beast, consumed with inhumanity. It prowls the shadows, devoid of grace, A predator, with a savage embrace, And we, the witnesses to its wretched might, Fearfully tremble in the pale moonlight. Innocence, like fragile glass, shatters, As compassion's flame flickers and scatters, For where love should bloom, seeds of hate are sown, And wickedness, like weeds, are widely grown. Through history's pages, it leaves its scar, A grotesque portrait, etched from afar, From ancient wars that tore nations apart, To modern horrors that still sear our heart. Yet amidst this darkness, a light does gleam, A glimmer of hope, like a lucid dream, For deep within us, a flickering spark, Undying empathy, ignites this arc. This flame flickers, but never fades away, Even in the face of darkest dismay, It binds us together, our guiding star, A beacon of kindness, seen from afar. So let us resist inhumanity's sway, With love and compassion, we shall slay, The beast that lurks within the human race, And restore our world to a sweeter embrace. For in our hearts, the power resides, To change the tide, where evil subsides, Together we stand, united we find, That in our humanity, true strength we'll bind. With empathy, our weapon of choice, We'll silence the voices that rejoice, In spreading darkness, fear, and despair, And nurture a world where compassion's fair. Let us remember, in moments of doubt, That inhumanity can be cast out, With gentleness, patience, and a friendly hand, We shall forge a future where unity will stand.
