Analysis of To Be Human
The grave cruelty
And cheating is
To execute wrong hopes or
Fictitious embellishing-hopes
The toughest task,
Specific cosmic prayer,
And real practice is
To control lie, anger,
And evil desires
It is it that proves
And authenticates
To be a human
It shows
A path of the real destination
It fragrances
The heavenly fragrance.
