Human – Delhi Poetry Slam

Human

By Anvisha Nagda


How crazy it is that every time, 
When a war is struck between worlds
And even when cruelty is at its peak
There are people who bandage the bleed
And some where they're praying hopefully
It's just so beautifully human to me

How refreshing it is that every instance 
A person was hesitant to spill
All their secrets that make them fight
And won't let them sleep at night
Are comforted with a touch so lovely. 
It's just so wonderfully human to me. 

How blissful it is to witness
A love that is endless. 
Not joined by touch but souls
Just two people who are together whole
And won't care what the people will see
It's so peacefully human to me 

How bright it is during tough times. 
You witness someone silently cry
When the mind is a devil inside
And won't let you see the light 
But still there is faith I see
It's so kindly human to me. 

Then there is at times
I see injustice infinite
Where it triggers me to shout and scream
And pains me to see such cruelty 
Where the helpless cannot hope 
And faith is present scarcely 
Ironically, it's still very human to me.
