Resurrecting Humanity: A Poetic Plea for Change by Sabiha Nehal Arzoo

Death of Humanity Last year humanity died, Many rejoiced, and very few cried. Blood-stained bodies all around, No safe haven on the ground. Love, joy, and peace snatched away, A deadly silence is left to stay. No water to drink, No food to eat. No children to hug, No families to greet. No mothers to dry the painful tears, No fathers to chase away the fears. No homes left to keep warm, No shelter to brace against the storm. No mourns are heard, No tears were shed. It clearly shows  Humanity is dead. Come forward, children of the world, You have to realise the reality. Lend your voice, show your strength, Together, resurrect the dead HUMANITY.

They sleep in the open; we relish the comfort of our homes. They shiver; we have warmth. Their nights are sleepless; we sleep throughout. They live in the ruins and dust; we can't stand the dust in our homes. They've lost hope; our dreams are boundless. They see only grey and red; we enjoy the beauty of rainbows. They count their   dead ; do we count our blessings? We bury our dead; UNDER RUBBLE, MANY OF THEM GET BURIED ALIVE! My appeal to yo...
