Unblemished Humanity


What would I change?

The poverty, the suffering, the illness

The society's customary judgement toward uniqueness

The homeless. the starving

The suicidal souls who are stranded.

I would help them, give them light

A blinding sun, a future just as bright

A chance to prove they have what it  takes

To change the world and alleviate their aches.

I would conquer the unconquerable

The monster that's called cancer.

Give the children hope, the future, our tomorrow

Fill their hearts with faith, extinguish all their sorrow.

An aspiration of an unblemished humanity

Getting rid of all insanity.

So many things that I would change...
