Am I just a Human?

Am I just another living creature?

With flesh and blood,

And some say soul.

With my prejudices,

Beliefs, fears, biases,

And superstitions!

Am I just another living creature?

With a sense of right and wrong,

Good and bad,

You and me,

Ideas of interesting and boring!

Am I just another living creature?

Struggling to make ends meet,

Sweating to ear my living,

Managing with my liabilities and

Responsibilities.

Am I just another living creature?

Led by my genetic urge,

To eat, prey, and reproduce.

Or may be I am

A temporary carrier of

All that is beautiful and bright!

All the virtues and inspiring traits!

Rising against all cynicism with

A ray of hope, and love!

All what is positive,

That natural selection,

Aided to evolve!

Being transient my design,

Conceived as a carrier,

Only for a short duration –

A small blip in eternity!

I do my best passing

Down all what is happy and bright,

To the posterity for ever.

The purpose of my life,

Is fulfilled with great grandeur,

If I am just am able to be what I am,

In its most superlative form,

Carrying with me

The light of love,

Understanding, peace!

With a deep seated,

Human defiance against,

Anything what is mean and negative,

I stand as a means – a channel –

And a bearer of the cross,

To show to the world,

There is always a hope,

For love deserves always another chance,

In every moment and in every age!
