A Day For Humanity



Humans are separated,
By borders,seas and oceans,
By languages,cultures and society,
By colour,creed and caste,
By poverty,wealth and education,
Even by food and clothes.

What would it take,
For us humans beings,
To transcend without inhibitions,
All these demarcations,
And finally be the world,
We are meant to be.

What would it take,
For the third world,
To become part of,
The developed world,
And prevent migration & brain drain,
In the name of wealth & education.

What if there were no rankings,
Of the best city or country to live,
What if every home was a tourist destination,
So that travel was just a walk in the park,
What if we finally realised after eons,
Without any Armageddon act of God,
We are the world,we are the children,
Wouldn't that be a Day For Humanity.
