Be Humane

KK

(A Song)

We meet and greet, but can’t please all,

Some may leave unhappy, despite our call…

Still, we aim to bring a gentle smile to face,

Leaving no sorrow, just a peaceful trace…

.

We are humans, we have to be humane,

Kindness in our hearts, empathy in frame…

Words and deeds that uplift and inspire,

We are humans, we have to be humane…

.

Bend down to resolve, don’t stand tall,

For not every heart is on the same wall…

Advice sounds good with a tender touch,

For doors are opened with a loving clutch…

.

We are humans, we have to be humane,

Kindness in our hearts, empathy in frame…

Words and deeds that uplift and inspire,

We are humans, we have to be humane…

.

Trust once is shattered, silence remains,

But echoes of pain linger, lifelong refrains…

People are judged by actions, not attire,

Mannequins in finery has no heart’s fire…

.

We are humans, we have to be humane,

Kindness in our hearts, empathy in frame…

Words and deeds that uplift and inspire,

We are humans, we have to be humane…

.

Reasons are countless for drifting apart,

Yet humanity calls to every little heart…

Let’s mend the rift, and close the space,

With love as compass, we find our place…

.

We are humans, we have to be humane,

Kindness in our hearts, empathy in frame…

Words and deeds that uplift and inspire,

We are humans, we have to be humane…

.

Let’s walk the path, with mercy and care,

Spreading love and kindness everywhere…

We are humans, we have to be humane…

.

  1. Thank you, Kaushal, for the beautiful verses of your poem! Being kind to people costs nothing but makes us feel more human in today’s world of often unhuman events. Kindness and love will make the world a better place to live and prevent our extinction. As always, I love the image!

  11. Beautifully expressed Kaushal and I totally agree. In this day and age, to be more humane, because, some forget their humanity in many ways. Your examples and your poetic plea, strike deep chords in me. Thank you for the reminder.

  13. Such beautiful poetry echoing truths of needing to be human. I resonate with you totally as always, KK! A song to our hearts of hope and love “But echoes of pain linger, lifelong refrains…

    People are judged by actions, not attire,

    Mannequins in finery has no heart’s fire…”
